Now We Are Sick: A Sampler

Five years before the publication of the “Anthology of Nasty Verse” by DreamHaven Press in 1991, Gaiman and Jones printed and distributed this thin chapbook Sampler of seven poems already accepted for inclusion in the finished work; this Sampler was limited to 150 copies and was sent to authors whom Gaiman and Jones hoped might contribute work to their anthology. The illustrations here are by Alan Hunter; the overall design is by Stephen Jones.
