Overall, it's not bad. It's an eerie, horroresque poetry book. There are some good lines, a few good poems, and one really great piece. What's interesting is the inspiration for most of these were drawn from a book entitled Newgate Calendar, true crime stories. You can see that in the poems. I don't know if I would've picked it up, had it not been for the really awesome cover. If you like poetry and eerie scary things, I say give it go. Personally, it wasn't bad but nothing that I feel like was earth shattering either.
