A Collection of Nightmares by Christina Sng
4.0
“You have ripped out my tongue; I cannot speak. My hands spoke for me, but then you ripped them out too. Your words churn ice as you speak. Snow drops from your lips. I weep blood, listening to your confession, wishing you had ripped out my eardrums instead.”
A Collection of Nightmares is a poetry collection by Christina Sng that has dark themes of horror and science fiction. I thought that I didn’t really get along with poetry, but I really enjoyed this collection! I think it has to do with the type of poetry I was reading, but horror seemed like a whole new experience and these were so beautifully done that I couldn’t help by loving it. It’s quite short, which I enjoyed, because I read it in one evening and it was just so satisfying to finish. The balance of horror to science fiction was nice too, and I really enjoyed how a lot of the poems, although quite different, felt like connected stories. If you are like me and are hesitant about poetry but want to test out some with darker themes, I fully recommend this one!
