The Wicked Come is a collection of dark, twisted poems exploring the unusual creatures and people that inhabit the shadow lands of society.
“Ideal for Halloween. Beautifully written book of wicked 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 civilised 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 unravelling 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.
“Startling and fresh. Dark reads for Dark Romantics”
Excerpt
Love Lies
Bright,
Shining star.
On sultry sand,
Drying seaweed
Curls and sighs
Like Silent spectres
Yachts’ glide past.
Watched by
Sleepy, golden
Sun.
Seagull
Shrieking,
Swoops and dives,
On silvery fish
In tangling weeds.
Pebbles jingling,
With your laugh,
Water runs
From my
Grasp.
Your face
Ripples
Under waves.
Memories lost
To tidal graves.
Sweet sea smell
On salty sand,
Perfume placed
Upon your
Hand.
One day
Our love
Was washed away.
As walking on,
A lanterned pier.
Blinking in
A twilight night
I spied a
Cosy couple
Walking by.
Water playing
With your hair
Fixed blue eyes
Just seem to stare.
You Never saw me
Standing there.
Now waves rush in
As days roll past
And fading memories
Always last.
