Disclaimer: This work contains dark imagery. Therefore, it may not be for everyone.

Blurb: This collection of witty sonnets has an eerie twist! Packed with phantoms, freaks, zombies, crazy babies and more to satisfy your craving for dark poetry that is as entertaining as a novel and as juicy as a scandal.

“As entertaining as a novel and as juicy as a scandal…”

Wow, that’s a lot to live up to, but did it deliver?

There were a lot of pieces that really stood out and had my attention:

1. Trick-or-Treat Trap: This particular work reads like the blueprint on how a stranger successfully lures little kids to do his/her whim. It definitely gave me the chills as to how this formula was poetically delivered.

2. Baby Sarah: This dark sonnet was one of my favorites in the collection. How can something painted to be so innocence cause such carnage? It takes the illusion of innocence and obliterates it utterly.

3. DFWTG: It has the same twisted ambiance as “Baby Sarah”, along with that “Gotcha!” component.

4. The “Chingy” Poem: It has a sing song quality to it. I found myself attaching a dark melody and reciting it in song in my head as well as out loud. I could definitely see it being “dark rock.”

I highly recommend this to a person who likes sonnets of a grittier, darker nature. It’s a great blend of traditional sonnet rhythm but dares to go outside the box in relation to content. ( )
