I love poetry, the darker the better. Two of my all time favourite writers are phenomenal poets: Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire. So it was with certain expectations that I began reading this anthology.
What I Liked: The structure and divisions. The chapter breaks work well to group the ideas within the poems and also afford the reader a sometimes much needed break between all the gruesomeness. The poems certainly are quite brutal, telling individual tales while contributing to the recurre...more

To hear that a family member has published a book, puts a smile on your face... Indeed it did My cousin wrote this book...
Chapter 5 Suspence overall is my favorite well written poems really gave the feel of things.
The Grim Reaper is great!
Rage of Hades awesome "Why kill two birds with one stone, i go for the whole nest."
And thats what the author did, altho im not a huge poem reader i enjoyed all the poems. A MUST READ!

Let the red run slowly into the stream
In this river your hands will not be washed clean
Guilt will arise and your skin will stain
Plain and drained to the vein from those you've slain
The Macabre Masterpiece is a collection of short poems with a Gothic feel to them, mainly due to the subject matter - blood, vampires, and the like. It attempted to shed new light on this subject matter, using poetry as the medium.

As I said before, The Macabre Masterpiece isn't the usual type of book I would read. The only other verse books I've read are works of Ellen Hopkins and Samantha Schutz, which were completely different compared to Justin's works. Completely.
Just like the title says, this poetry is preeetty gory. When you open the book, the first chapter is entitled "Hell" - definitely not a happy place. The second is "Blood", so obviously the whole chapter is...more

After much deliberation and debate, I've decided to put this review back up and WILL NOT be removing it again.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I'm not usually a big reader of poetry, but the concept of horror poetry intrigued me. This is a book of poems that ranged from dark and gruesome to evil and creepy with the occasional bit of humor thrown in. The very first poem "Buried Alive" and "Zombies" in chapt 3 were my favorite two poems but I enjoyed nearly all of them in the collection. These are definitely unique and not for the feint of heart as some are a bit gorey....more

I should start by saying that poetry is not typically my thing, flowery sentiment, heartfelt bullshit that makes me want to vomit into my own hands. This is not that kind of poetry. A fun read, I actually giggled in several places. I liked it surprisingly enough.
Although I did spot several spelling errors and one misused homophone these poems are worth reading.

I enjoyed all the poems.but I have this to say I do have a favorite poem and I do have a favorite section of poems I loved the creatures and the Dorian grey poem are the ones that spoke to me very loudly very good job on poems wish you much success and a book I would recommend to others
I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of poetry,but it seemed interesting and I wanted to broaden my horizons. I love horror, so I gave this book a chance.
I felt the author, Justin Bienvenue, did an excellent job in presenting his work. This book is filled with poems of horror, and I quite enjoyed them. They were quick to read, quite vivid, and the author captured me with his work. I'm now interested in reading more poetry, and of course more work from this author. Five stars!!!
