Doom and Gloom a Book of Poetry and ArtDoom and Gloom is a little spook, and a little sad, a little wondrous, and a little weird. Perfect for those who enjoy the melancholy of a rainy day, or exploring old cemeteries while visiting a new town. You will find no gore here, because the most effective horror is not blood and guts. Instead, the most effective horror is infused with a sadness that can't be helped, combined with a sense of wonder and dread about what lurks just beyond view.
