Can You Sign My Tentacle?
ByPublisher Description
Cthulhu meets hip-hop in this book of horror poems that flips the eldritch genre upside down. Lovecraftian-inspired nightmares are reversed as O'Brien asks readers to see Blackness as radically significant. Can You Sign My Tentacle? explores the monsters we know and the ones that hide behind racism, sexism, and violence, resulting in poems that are both comic and cosmic.

“Picked this up at Worldcon because I was intrigued by the cover art, and the poems are absolute fire!”
“I'm so pleased that Brandon has finally put out a poetry collection. He is one of my favourite active speculative poets and this collection is a strong representation of his work. Additionally, this collection is a really important look at Blackness in culture.
This collection included some old favourites of mine like drop some amens, and Birth, Place. New favourites included: Lovecraft Thesis #2 & #3, and That Business They Call Utopia Part Two.

“It is a poetry collection of sci-fi and horror poems.
It's truly bizarre, interesting and kind of crazy. My imagination ran wild whole reading the book and there were a lot interesting lines that captured my attention.
Although I'll admit that I was a bit confused too and sometimes I couldn't comprehend what was going on.
But overall, a great collection and very refreshing to read. Also the title and cover is just perfect!
