Horror Poetry

Un estudiante está en su habitación abatido, reflexionando sobre lo sólo que le ha dejado su amada Leonora que se ha marchado para no volver. Llama a alguien a la puerta,... el no abre, pasa un tiempo y vuelven a llamar...finalmente abre y no ve nada más que la negrura de la noche, ese símbolo de la soledad infinita en la que Leonora le ha dejado; pero por la puerta entra volando un cuervo y la mente del joven narrador inmediatamente es infundida por su simbología de muerte y maldad.

This chilling tale of a gruesome monster unleashed into the world by an unthinking scientist was first conceived by 19-year-old Mary Shelley on a dark, rainy night on Lake Geneva. Lord Byron and Percy Shelley challenged their friends to see who could come up with the most horrifying story imaginable. Mary Shelley did, terrifying them all with her nightmare-inspired tale. It is followed by "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Coleridge which was an early haunting influence on the young Mary Shelley.

A 7-year old girl saved from drowning with the sinking of the Titanic by...a mermaid? A copy-cat serial killer, separated by four decades and an ocean from the original, only to "rip" through the wrong neighborhood. Everything that could go wrong aboard a prototype airship's maiden flight does go wrong.... Is it true what they say about gremlins? And a group of friends from the city spending a serene summer by the lake in scenic upstate New York.... Do you really want to know what they did?

Dare is the first work by author Melissa Leigh (she/her), a specialist in gothic horror short fiction and poetry. Her disturbing and terrifying works present frightening new takes on traditional horror tropes.

Leigh breaks the tension with dark romantic poems of love gone awry, love gone wrong, pining and longing.

Out in the cold fringes. The Oort cloud of the consciousness where light is scarce. Only the icy stare of countless unnamed stars to see you along your journey. A path with no beginning, nor port of call. A tortured sojourner lost in a hellish purgatory, searching in despair for an exit. The Tower & the Star is not only a strange tale, but a frigid trek through melancholic dejection. One spirit's rove into the dark night and its arduous transformation throughout. An unmoored voyage with but a whit of hope to lay hold of that tunnel's subsequent light.
