"A powerful anthology of horror and its concurrent antonym: hope." —Midwest Book Review

"Award-winning editors Ryan and Murray have ratcheted the unease up a notch... brutally honest and poignant... each [poem] gives readers more than they expect, over and over again." —Becky Spratford, Booklist Starred Review 

"A necessary collection on the shelf of every horror reader, not just because of its cause, but also because of its message. Incredibly well-written by a vast array of talented authors...creative and brutally terrifying." —Joshua Gage, Cemetary Dance
