Clem Stambaugh

Hisses Like Whispers

Following his success with In Black and Light and The Ghosts of Gold, both reaching the top of Amazon and Barnes & Noble poetry charts, Clem Stambaugh returns with his first narrative poetry book, Hisses Like Whispers. Featuring a foreword by renowned psychic Ken Boggle from the Hulu/Disney+ series "Living for the Dead," Hisses Like Whispers, is a highly engaging work that simultaneously combines Clem’s darkly romantic poems with the intriguing story of vampire Henri Martineau and his murderously lustful quest to possess Olivia Dandridge. Through both prose and verse, Clem reveals, Olivia holds her own shadowy secret that may have monstrous consequences even for a powerful and ancient vampire.
