sort516 Ahlhallah (paperback, 2023)

¶ "Ahlhallah" is how "All Hallows" (as in Halloween) sounds if I say it without consciously trying to say it right. ¶ A collection of Halloweeny poetry/verses/lyrics/etc. ¶ *Since different people have different things in their head as to what makes Halloween Halloween, PLEASE check out the pdf version of this book (which is free) before spending money on a print version. I don't want you to spend money on't and then find out it wasn't what you thought it would be.* But several different conceptions of Halloween are represented: if you find what you’re reading isn’t to your expectations (say you're all about Great Pumpkins and candy and you get vampires and goths, or the other way round), just keep reading. ¶ Like all or nearly all my books, this contains so-called explicit content: I always tick the box for warning people of that, but sometimes it doesn't take, so I'm also telling you here. ¶ As always, the price is the least amount Lulu will let me charge; I get no money from anything on here. ¶ The actual date of first being printed is Halloween, 2023. The book was revised (and a bit of new material added but the interior illustrations removed) in June of 2024, with more slight corrections in February, 2026. ¶ The cover-art is a composite of two pieces, at least one of which is slightly NSfW. ¶ contains these pieces: 19 (Daughterest Cat) ’73 Beetle Alphabetical Algorithm Verse #15 Amnion, Cauling in Darkness Arab Death Bit from an Interview that Never Happened Blackmail Book of the Dead (Gothlines #1) Breakfasttime Chains (Gothlines #3) Christ, Sleepy Confutatis Maledictis; or, the Ballad of the Wandering Who Crafting Dommpyre (Alphabetical Algorithm Verse #19) Driveway Gondola, Not Gondolier The Greatest of Them All (Gothlines #4) Harvest Mooning; or, Deathmatch: Jack o’ Lantern vs. Tom Turkey “He Was a Wiccan” Hieronymus #9 Thehorrorthehorror if you know the heart, you know the lungs <linebreak> by z. z. cummings Incipere Lucicleptens Jakoffa Landorn Machine Mad Shatter Mama Never Read before Going to Bed Proven Algorithm-verse #15 Receiving Samhain Fire A Selection of Today’s Disturbing Images That Popped into My Mind without My Permission (Hieronymus #0) A Snatch Something To Hide (Gothlines #5) Thank Gods for the GIMP Time-travel Poem #17 (Wellsian Vampire) Time-travel Poem #18 (Nineteen Days Before) Trikkov Light Visions (constructed from Hieronymuses 1, 3, 5, 6, 17–9, & 21) Witchbit Womon (Gothlines #2) World Reborn You Read Too Much
