The Wicked Come

'Ideal for lovers of the dark and deadly. Beautifully written, horror poems.'

The Wicked Come is a collection of dark romantic, fantasy and Gothic horror poetry from the speculative writer and poet P.J. Reed.

The poems in this collection are beautifully descriptive, well-crafted snapshots of the lives of people inhabiting the shadowlands of civilized society.

This collection is an exploration of the darker side of humanity. The consequences of one-sided love affairs and how obsession can easily turn to murder. It explores the aftermath of when sanity crashes against madness.

Readers of P.J. Reed's work are introduced to a variety of characters inhabiting a dystopian society: the gourmet detective, the doctor with unusual hobbies, the unnatural gardener, and the too ardent lovers. Each character has their own dark tale to share, their lives unraveling before the reader in minimalistic, deadly verses.

The Wicked Come also delves into the realm of the supernatural, with twists and visions of a fascinating world just beyond our perception.
