Praise for Cries to Kill the Corpse Flower

"Fans of horror poetry should enjoy this collection and the potential of this newer voice in horror poetry."

-         Cemetery Dance Online

“RJ Murray's first horror poetry collection is one of the stronger debuts I've read -- poetically decadent in its wordplay, using the realm of genre fiction as more of a worldview than a set of literary conventions, conjuring images that will sit with you during those long dark nights of the soul.”

-         Dr. Michael A. Arnzen, Four-Time Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Grave MarkingsGorelets, and Freakcidents.

 

 "With lush language and imagery that draws from nature's decay, Cries to Kill the Corpse Flower is a spellbinding poetry collection with a decidedly fairy tale and folk horror flare. Brutal and beautiful in equal measure, this is a breathtaking debut."

-         Gwendolyn Kiste, Three-Time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust MaidensAnd Her Smile Will Untether the Universe, and Pretty Marys All in a Row.

 

“A gritty, beautiful, and haunting collection of poetry. The title really does reflect the mood of these pieces -- within each poem, I heard those cries, saw that darkness, and could feel the tendrils of a dark bloom wrapping around my heart.”

-         Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of The Devil’s Dreamland: Poetry Inspired by H.H. HolmesLove for Slaughter, and To Be Devoured.
