Publisher: Kent David KellyTumbling boulders crushing over powdered bones,
Death pits filled with gibbering slime,
Strangling vines, enchanted lodestones, lightning bolts,
Hateful wraiths
Imprisoned in chests of ancient gold,
Chained by holy symbol and silver seal ...
Every mechanical horror, every thief and rsquo;s demise,
Every fell contraption
Lies here, deep in this book of secrets.
