Demons are real.

Richard knows because he has listened to them his entire life. No longer able to bear their screams echoing in his head, he embarks on a rampage of deranged violence, leaving a trail of mutilated bodies and viscera in his wake.

Now, Richard must traverse the terrifying landscape of hell, guided by his lustful demoness through the myriad of torments and tortures laid out before him. There is no hope, no kindness, no mercy. There is only the pain of damnation and the laughter of blood-thirsting demons.

Unclean Verses is an Extreme Horror Re-Imagining of Dante's Inferno by the author of War of Dictates and Abhorrent Siren.

“Baltisberger proves to be an occult iconoclast counterpart to Lin Manuel Miranda.”--Doris V. Sutherland

"Like a machine-gun firing bullets of blasphemy, The Unclean Verses overwhelms and penetrates the reader with an almost hypnotic cadence that belies the brutality and cruel viciousness embedded in Baltisberger's poetry." --Nikolas Robinson

"It’s magnificent - an extraordinary feat of extended poetry, really re-inventing Dante in boldly extreme and dazzling language. It’s both a classical and a deeply personal vision of hell and an overwhelming expression of lust, shame, guilt, rage and anguish - the extended howl of a brutally self-destructive soul in torment. There is a strange beauty to the sonic patterns and the deliriously disgusting imagery. It’s in a class of its own." --Montague White, The Professor.
