Night Life: A Folk Horror Poetry Collection by Alba V. Sarria, Alba V. Sarria
5.0
Disclaimer: I was sent an advanced reading copy so here we gooo
I really enjoyed this mix of poetry and horror, two genres I'm slowly diving more into this year, so a combination of both felt too good to leave. Ever since I finished it, I haven't really stopped thinking about it, the vibes were all there, so it's a perfect quick read for this month! The little drawings really added an extra kick to the copy, and the way the poems are designed and placed was also another interesting touch. It could be gorey during some times, while other parts felt more emotional, plus the use of second person from time to time was really interesting to experience, and so in the end I felt like it was a nice balance of spookiness and feelings. Naturally, some poems felt stronger than others but in the end, I was here for the wild ride, start to finish.
