Amazon Review
"This is an astonishing piece of work. In today's mumbling, dumbed-down world an author that actually has competent command of the language! Amazing... [The Morphine Fawn is the] First book I have sampled in a very long time that is worth the price. Bravo!" — Peter F Walsh, Amazon Review, 5 Stars
Behold
my
current
oeuvre.
I
think
you’ll
find
these
books
to
be
lyrical,
questionable
and
almost
possibly
non-mutagenic!
For
those
with
nut
sensitivities,
however,
please
read
these
books
with
the
covers
closed.

The Purgatory Elm (2018)
(153 pages)
Goodreads Giveaway Review
It only took me a couple of poems to feel the flow and pattern of the Fiasco Galante's genius. You truly get a sense of his bond with literature in the beauty of his writing. His poems stretch the mind of the reader; many a time I learned a new word or phrase. His rhyming schemes are clever and fast-paced and definitely humorous. I thoroughly enjoyed "I Would Be Lovely Then a Quick Reply," which I found quite facetious and a nice surprise amidst the rest of the poems. [He} surely has his unique style and is not afraid of showing it off. ~Tatiana

As
we
look
to
faith
and
our
thoughts,
what
comes
out
may
be
beauty.
The
Encolpia
is
a
collection
of
poetry
from
William
Frank
as
he
explores
poetic
tradition
by
bending
and
warping
it
in
his
own
way
to
create
an
original
message.
The
Encolpia
is
poetry
worth
thinking
about,
recommended."

“Frank’s novel has the
grotesquerie of a Tim Burton
movie, the droll corruption of a
Mark Twain story (camouflaged by
pompous oratory), and the
cheerful brutality of a Punch and
Judy show...The result is an
inventive, mordantly funny story
with a blighted but yearning soul.”
--Kirkus Reviews
The Grave Listeners
“ The Grave Listeners is a short tale of the unexpected, rooted in human nature and its existential preoccupations with the supernatural. It's written by an author confident in his style, able to evoke time and place with an elegant turn of phrase and not afraid to puncture the tension with some robust humour.” — Jill Murphy, BookBag UK
The Deputation of Folly (2025)
A
collection
of
sonnets
that
explores
the
complexities
of
Folly
and
puts
human
nature
to
the
question.
It
is
a
studied
consideration
of
the
things
we
laugh
about,
an
investigation
of
the
constitution
of
humor,
a
journey
through
the
spiritual
wilds
of
snickering abandon.
