I really enjoyed this collection of poems about murder. I found the selection of poets very interesting (old & new), perhaps sometimes a little bit more context would have helped, but it was a nice journey into the darkest part of human nature.

guinsgirlreads That looked like such a cute little thing! I want one lol 6y
ElleSkel @guinsgirlreads thank you for sending it my way! It seems cute but there is some work in it that stops your heart. A piece compiled of notes from a mass shooter really chilled me to the bone. 6y

ElleSkel 😆 My bad! Lol yes, it is a cute little book! @guinsgirlreads (edited) 6y

I have always loved horror books and movies. I have also loved poetry and my grandfather wrote hundreds. Today, I‘ve added a book to my shelf that‘s a little different. Killer Verse: Poems of Murder and Mayhem

These are two unusual, but excellent #poetry anthologies pub. by Everyman's Library. (along same lines-"Poems Bewitched & Haunted" & "Monster Verse.")

ValerieAndBooks I love their anthologies. I wish I had more, but as I primarily buy used, never come across them in used bookstores! Maybe one day I'll win the lottery 😊! 7y
vivastory I love Everyman. Reasonable price, sturdy & beautiful covers. @ValerieAndBooks 7y
