Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
Some of these poems were definitely better than others, as with every collection. I liked the idea that the poems were not written from scratch, but based on lines from Stephen King's work "The Plant", but I did not feel like they flowed nicely. I also did not know what they are based on until it was mentioned at the end of the book, which made everything even more confusing.
The art that was sprinkled through the book was cool, even if I did not feel like it was that related to the poems. Overall, a diverse collection (as the poems had different vibes) but not the best result, in my opinion. It is hard to judge this style (being based on someone else's work), but sadly this was not really memorable.
