Cradleland of Parasites
by Sara Tantlinger
Sara Tantlinger is brilliant. I said it and I will stand by it! She has a knack for creating such illustrative and beautiful poetry while centralizing/being influenced by such dark horrors. In the case of Cradleland of Parasites, that horror is THE BLACK PLAGUE. And believe me, we need some magical horror poetry about a plague right now... I devoured this collection quicker than I anticipated... but I could not stop myself! I know I will be re-reading this collection and there are definite poems that stand out for me:
"The Demon of Constantinople," "Her Face of Bones and Needles," "Second Pandemic," "Crimson Mercy," "The Corpses Burn," "The King's Ulcer," "Blackbirds, Black Death," and "Island of Ghosts."
There is not a single poem in here that I did not fawn over, but those were some of my favorites. I highly recommend this collection. And if you are still on the fence about horror poetry... here is your chance to start with a powerful collection! 5 stars!
