The Macabre Masterpiece: Poems of Horror and Gore by Justin Bienvenue
3.0
3.5 stars
this is a good book. the poems are pretty interesting, and there's some nice imagery here. It can get pretty dark, and there's still a variety of thing. the reason I knocked it down from 4 to 3.5 stars is that the rhyming schemes can bring a top grade poem/story into a sort of hokey feel. It wasn't too bad, and not many suffer from them, but on too many occasions the whole feel was reduced to cheesy because of the need for it to fit the rhyme scheme.
all in all, it was an interesting read, and worth the time.
