Poetry:

Paranormal Romance
Poems Romancing the Paranormal

(2012, Sam’s Dot [now Alban Lake])

NOMINATED FOR 2013 SFPA ELGIN AWARD!

These poems meditate on our myriad ways of contacting the dead, meeting them on their own terms as well as ours. Inspired by many individuals on this side of the veil and on the other, it is about a special kind of love we have for those who are no longer with us in our plane of existence … unless you believe that they are with us still in non-corporeal form.

Fiction:

Lovecraft Slept Here
(Wildside Press, 2003)

"Denise Dumars has captured a unique combination of H.P. Lovecraft and a modern perspective, which makes Lovecraft Slept Here one of the great horror reads. In each and every story, that which is familiar and commonplace takes on a dark tone, and the girl next door is the most horrifying monster yet encountered. From ladies' afternoon tea to driving in Los Angeles, facets of every day life become twisted.… One of the better Lovecraft-style books I've read."
—Scott A. Corum
