A review by decseptapril
Under Her Skin by Lindy Ryan, Linda D. Addison, Toni Miller
5.0
Wow,
This is the single best horror poetry book I have ever read. Horror poetry has been pretty hit or miss for me, so I have been trying to avoid this genre as much as possible, and out of fortune I accidentally requested this book on NetGalley.
The poetry is so different from other horror collections I have read before. With the image of women placed in the center of the book, the poets waved stunning tales of violence and beauty. The verses/prose are so raw and inelegant, explicit and gory, that by the end of the book, I was just a mess drowning in the book. I understand that this is not the most polished and substantial writing out there, and it is definitely not for everybody, I recommend this book with my whole heart and soul, because I love it so much.
Note:I will update this review with my favorite poems closer to the publication day.
