Weirdbook Annual #3: Zombies! by Wildside Press

I meant to post this sooner but time got away from me.  My copy of Weirdbook Annual #3: Zombies! by Wildside Press arrived and it looks gorgeous.  It does have an unfortunate typo in my title.  My poem is supposed to be titled Necrophilic Sin, not Necrophalic Sin, which is amusing.  I did not catch the error when verifying the proof so it stuck.  Oh well, it happens.
