Horror Haiku and Other Poems Words linger... In the darkness of shadows, in the distant screams. They whisper past the drip, drip of blood. The strange beauty of words hide, waiting for you. Embrace the horror. Venture past safe reality, into the world of terror told in verse. Horror Haiku and Other Poems brings forth surreal dread and spins it in artistic countenance. From small chilling bites of poetry, to murky morsels of fright, come find where the words haunt you, where they live and die. My Review Horror Haiku and Other Poems, by A.F. Stewart was my first real venture into Haiku. But I'm a horror girl at heart and happy to try something new. I didn't know what to expect, and I was not disappointed at all. I loved it! Ms. Stewart's words were beautifully dark and macabre. A photograph preceded each Haiku which was a bonus that I enjoyed. I went back and read it again, because I didn't appreciate the accompanying photos the first time as much as I should have, because I was concentrating on the verse. There's also links to a blog that showcase Ms. Stewarts's work with drawn illustrations that I thought offered a different perspective on the Haiku which was interesting. As a huge fan of Victorian Gothic Horror one of my favorite verses was: London gaslight hiss cobblestone shadows shiver and the undead walk. Everything you need to know is right there! I'm so glad that I read this book. I've discovered a whole new way to enjoy my horror. I couldn't be happier!
