The Slow Road to Gore by Alex Staines poetry book now on Kindle

the slow road to gore
The 2010 second edition of The Slow Road to Gore - A Travelogue Noir (poems by me and illustrations by Aaron Frater) is now available for purchase as a Kindle e-book, on Amazon.

Here's the book on Kindle.

There's a lengthy book description to accompany the Amazon listing, which I have included in the current Kindle copy as a Foreword.

However, I aim to replace this version with a new version soon that is better formatted for all Kindle devices (there are various complexities associated with uploading Word files to the Kindle platform that I have since become aware of). The "View Inside" option on the Kindle page shows some formatting errors that may carry over into some Kindle readers. It's a bit of a tricky business, but I'll update this post when the new version is uploaded. I have spoken to several people who say it looks and reads just fine on their Kindle readers, and it looks A1 on my desktop version of Kindle, too, but I'm seeking perfection!

I was planning to remove the Foreword from the updated version of Gore, and have installed it here as a page.

The updated Kindle version of the book will have a link to this page instead of the text itself. This is so potential buyers of the book can preview more of the poetry, as the preview pane on Kindle only allows for people to read a couple of pages. I don't want half of this taken up with a foreword spiel which is kind of self-indulgent (though fun).
