Horror poetry is an in-between territory balanced between conventions of the horror genre and powerful poetry. In this collection, I can't say that the balance is always spot-on--there are times when it feels like shock-tacular horror wins out over poetic instincts, and times when the sound of poetry moves away from horror--but there are so many poems here which DO exceed the expectations of that balance, it ends up being a more than worthwhile read.
My favorite poems here are the longer ones show more which move more into the realm of story vs siding more with the abstract. Some of my favorites: "The Thing About Stars", "Until You Reach Me", "A Flame, Snuffed", "The Toddler's Guide to Reincarnation", and "Mazzeratura or, The Penalty of the Sack"
Recommended for horror readers, with the warning only that much of this little book is incredibly dark, and packs a punch that I'm not so sure is often found in horror poetry. show less
