I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology of poetry written to a faux mass
murder news story. The voices of recognizable and lesser known writers
sang of the victim’s demise in poetic voices beautifully varied. The
wonderful mix of poetry told a sinister/sweet/wickedly funny/poignant
side of the dark faceted diamond called Death In Common.

--Linda Addison, award-winning author of Consumed, Reduced to Beautiful Grey Ashes.

For the connoisseur of the morbid, opening Death in Common will be
akin to sorting through a delightfully gore-soaked Whitman’s Sampler of
sweetmeats, discovering wicked flavors with each new bite. From Rich
Ristow’s fascinatingly ghoulish concept spills a full cornucopia of
horrors, from Marge Simon’s dark elegance to the gruesome poetic
justice of Wrath James White, from Kurt Newton’s blood-black comedy to
Christopher Conlon’s unsettling poignancy, from Louise Bohmer’s sensual
brutality to the beautiful despair of Barry Napier’s finale.

-- Mike Allen, three time Rhysling Award winning poet and editor of Mythic Delirium.
