Step into the shadows with the 13th macabre volume of poetry from the Horror Writers Association. Curated by editor Colleen Anderson, this collection presents 50 poems of dread-filled dark verse exploring the uncanny, the mysterious, and the outright terrifying. Featuring works by standout voices including Nate Atkins, Lee Murray, and Yi Izzy Yu, these pages imprison nightmares that linger long after the lights go out.
From quiet psychological shivers to visceral manifestations of terror, HWA Poetry Showcase Volume XIII demonstrates that the sharpest blade in horror is often a well-turned line. Unearth the macabre. Embrace the dark.
...a masterful assortment of delectable flavors curated by legendary horror poet Colleen Anderson herself. It combines the world's best writers of dark poetry...with new and exciting voices from the Horror Writer's Association's rich and diverse diaspora. A must read exploration of the darkest concerns of our time. -Jamal Hodge Bram Stoker Award and Elgin Award winning poet
Poetry Showcase XIII has an edge. Like a quick flash of a balisong. What you get, are rampaging, juggernaut voices. Porcupine emotions impaling perceptions. Tip-toe thoughts in a celibate darkness. It's all here. -Erik Hofstatter, author of Bankrupting Sky Banks and Stone Martyrs
