In Demons in the Closet, Samuel Ludke returns with a collection of poems that wander the dim hallways of the mind-where memory hangs like heavy air, where silence has teeth, and where the shadows speak in your own voice. These poems confront the ghosts we inherit, the demons we create, and the versions of ourselves we try to lock away behind thin wooden doors.

Written with the raw intensity Ludke is known for, this book blends confessional poetry with mythic dread, exploring loneliness, faith, violence, redemption, and the fractured mirror of identity. Each page moves between quiet reflection and electric aftershock, revealing how the past refuses to stay buried and how the self can become both protector and predator.
