Lovely new seasonal tome incoming!

I have a poem included in this absolutely gorgeous book of dark poetry. Curated for fans of the weird and macabre, the sinister but seductive beauty of illustrators such as Harry Clarke accompany the poems in a volume that will speak to those drawn to the dark.

The perfect book for fans of Edgar Allan Poe and, more widely, for those who love their dark side with a touch of horror. Poetry’s fascination with the weird and the macabre has a long literary history, and Sampson sates modern appetites with this curated collection of over 300 of the best poems published on the subject.

The Poetry Pharmacy

There is a fine and terrible tradition of poetry of occult, macabre, and sinister poetry, and this anthology introduce’s the reader to both celebrated antiheroes like Keats’s serpentine Lamia and Christina Rossetti’s thirsty goblins, and less well-known figures from nightmare, such as Violet Fane’s deadly Victorian siren and Clare Pollard’s ultramodern Reynardine.

I won’t say who my chosen macabre figure is – you’ll have to buy one to find out.

Available all over the place, but here’s a link to The Poetry Pharmacy, one of my favourites.
