Look in the closet and check under the bed; lay down to sleep and pull the covers up to your chin as you drift off into the whimsical world of dreams. But sometimes dreams decay, becoming nightmares, black and frightening. Journey into the darker realms where the fantastical meets the horrific. From deep within the terrifying imagination of S. Alessandro Martinez, this collection delves into the darkly amusing, the strange, and the eerie; poems guaranteed to send shivers down your spine and make your skin crawl.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twisted fun for all ages!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018

This collection of horror poems is dark and fun. Each poem flows rhythmically while spinning a unique dark tale. The illustrations are gorgeously dark and captivating. I suggest the print version to allow the illustrations to compliment the poems. A fun collection for nearly all ages, I’m actually passing it on to my thirteen year old son.

I loved this little book of poems. They are delightfully grotesque. The illustrations are well done and complement the text perfectly. It left me wanting more so I hope there’s a second one coming.

This is an extremely charming and creepy read. Every poem had a nice rhythm to them that flowed perfectly off the tongue. Definitely a fun and quick read. The illustrations were also amazing. I wish I could get a hard copy of this.

What a great find this was! Love the fact that the poems are short and sweet, if you use the word sweet to describe creepy things. VERY descriptive and really dug the flow! Can't wait for more works by this author!

4.0 out of 5 stars Spooky, wicked poetry collection
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019

Fun, creepy poems that read like cautionary stories from a universe where Halloween never stops. Plenty of twists that end badly for the characters and a wicked sense of humor that gives the book a musical feeling. Compelling interior illustrations as well. A couple of my favorites were "The Viscera Queen" and "The Corpse Machine."

Very interesting, indeed. It's not something that I would usually read, but I really enjoyed it. Sometimes creepy and sometimes contains dark humor.

These poems read like they are written for children but the subject matter is very dark. I enjoyed that contrast.
