    About this ebook

    The verses beckon through the tavern's door,

    Enjoy its firelit warmth and grab an ale;

    The poems tell of heroes, blood and gore,

    They offer dragon's hoard and banshee's wail;

    Behold the creeping dread that stalks the gloom!

    You bitter cynics, come and prep your smirks!

    But gentler readers, please don't flee the room,

    For other poems offer humour's quirks;

    They speak of magic hijinks and kebabs,

    And sirens' schemes that make the pirates spew;

    One poem shows a golem braiding carbs;

    A healing potion gets a bad review!

    So heed this poem's cunning sonnet hook,

    And venture through the verses; read this book!

    Ibrahim S. Amin

    Ibrahim S. Amin was educated at the Manchester Grammar School, the University of Newcastle, and the University of Manchester. He wallowed in education for as long as he could, earning his PhD in Classics & Ancient History. At that point he ran out of excuses and joined the real world — where he now writes to support his unhealthy takeaway addiction.

      OPERA’S VALUE AS A GUIDE TO negotiating the old vale of tears continues to be hotly debated — well, here, anyway; to be fair, it’s got to be a better bet than mime. On the plus side, you can expect loads of hot sex and a richly varied emotional life.
