3.0
I found this collection to be a general mix of the good and the less good. Only a few of these poems really caught my attention, and compelled me to go back and have another read or two. I thought The Shed by Annie Neugebauer was a standout, and I also enjoyed Alice After by Lisa Lepovetsky. But many of these poems seem to suffer from dealing in cliches or overused themes and tropes. Others have interesting ideas, but feel more like vignettes than poems. I simply felt that too many of these poems lacked a nucleating moment, that real sense of dark epiphany that I like to find in horror poetry.
