See all formats and editions
Prepare for an excursion into a gloomy world of shadows, where the days are never sunlit and blithe, and where the nights are wrapped in endless nightmares.

No happy endings or silver linings are found in the clouds that fill these gray skies.

But what you will find, gathered in one volume, are the darkest of poems and tales of horror, waiting to take your mind on a journey into realms of the uncheerful and the unholy.

An amazingly surreal collection of short stories and the darkest of poetry, all interspersed with stunning graveyard photographs taken by the multitalented author herself - an absolute must for every bookshelf!

About the Author

Born and raised in the Chicago area, Gerri R. Gray is a cemetery photographer and a lifelong aficionado of horror, dark humor, and high camp. She blames her twisted sense of humor on a wayward adolescence influenced by the likes of Monty Python, Charles Addams, Frank Zappa, and John Waters. Her interest in writing started early on in life, and she began writing poetry, music, short stories, and plays while a teenager in the 1970s. Her first notable publication occurred in October of 1976 and was an interview the she and her cousin conducted with Ides of March singer/songwriter, Jim Peterik (who went on to find even greater success with the rock group, Survivor.) Her poetry has appeared in a number of literary journals and anthologies, including The Poet, Xenomorph, The Kindred Spirit, and, most recently, Beautiful Tragedies and Poetry Quarterly.

Gerri currently lives in Upstate New York in an historic nineteenth-century house with her husband and a bevy of spirits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant work!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018
Verified Purchase
This collection of dark poetry and prose has a fantastic appeal.
In my opinion, poetry is the highest form of humankind's written word. Gerri Gray's poetry is both eclectic and approachable - worthy of study. I think many people shy away from poetry, because they fear it may be too deep, and they may not understand the hidden meanings. Eloquently written passages, however, allow the reader to simply enjoy the language and flow of each piece, and the meanings become clear. Here, Gray has offered sweetmeats for both readers seeking entertainment and scholars seeking substance as well.

So many poems stick out, and struck me with shock, wide-eyes and wonder. In particular: 'Bittersweet Rapture', 'Here I Am', 'Magnum Opus in Decay', 'Night of the Anomaly' and 'A Wind so Bitter' (so reminiscent of my favorite poet, Anne Sexton, who feared and despised the 9th of November - her birthday), are nothing less than brilliant. These are poems one can simply enjoy for their aesthetic beauty, or analyze in a college lecture hall.

Gray's short prose is Hollywood worthy: 'Ailurophobia' is masterfully written, 'Beauty Is the Beast' is a brutal short that left me jaw-dropped as did 'Marcy's Diary', (oh my god!). 'The Taphophile' is an edge-of-your-seat heart pounding fight to survive, and 'Sinister Consequences' is... well, maximum strength poetic justice.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to become lost in beautifully written passages, poems that move them emotionally, and stories that amaze.
Gray will carry you to the Gates of Delirium and back again safe. Be brave for her, and you will never forget what you have seen.

The poetry is beautiful. The photographs haunt me. Stories are dark and devine. Glad I bought it. Made me think about death differently.
