4 1/2 Stars and bumping upwards for Goodreads because it was THAT good and because Goodreads refuses to give us the 1/2 star. Boo and hiss GR.
This little book of dark poetry will entrance you with its dark magic and simmering rage. Within its pages you will find fairytale worlds filled with magic, wonder and furious brutality. If you like dark fiction, I recommend giving it a try. The poems are broken up into themed chapters that often progress from one to the next continuing in a story-like fashion.
The first section was about bloodlust, destruction and war and I’m not entirely certain my brain comprehended it all on the first go but the poems all pulled me in and created a complete story.
I mean:
“His eyelids cut in a half-moon
To ensure he witnesses every moment
Leading to his death”
What is there not to love about that?!
The Fairy Tales section was one of my favorites. They’re beautifully modern but yet manage to maintain a fairytale-like mood filled with the whims of the fey, the evils of men and they are bloody and vicious as well they should be!
All the Monsters in the World brings forth devastating violation, murder, and even a quirky vampire poem that offered some sweet, much needed relief from all the unrelenting but purifying violence.
“They will arrive
With their guns and scythes,
Here we will wait
And eat them alive.”
Hahahaha! Dare I say how much I love the way Sng puts words together?!
There’s one poem here that will sit with me forever. It’s called “The Girl and Her Wolf Dog” and It broke me into a million pieces and put me back together again. If I had to pick just one perfect poem from this collection, a collection filled with them, it would be this one.
Do something nice for you and give it a read! I doubt you’ll have regrets.
