Can You Sign My Tentacle?

The collection of poems is considered “horror” with some HP Lovecraft tones but I'd say it wasn't too horrific. I did like a few of the poems, as the meaning was clear and powerful but the rest fell short.

I don't understand using the terms “I is,” when “I am” would have allowed the poem to flow, but to each their own. The writing is confusing at times and a bit wordy. I understand poetry is different than novels but if the author wrote with more clarity, I feel their would be more positive feedback.

At times the topics were a bit shallow, specifically the poems about autographs from famous rappers. I don't understand the significance of celebrities.

One and done for me.

I received this as an e-ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not normally a fan of poetry but this collection was really good! I love a lot of Lovecraft's stories and it was super cool reading this knowing the inspiration. The author's note is also really impactful and goes deeper into why the author wrote this collection. I would definitely check out anything he writes in the future!
