Thank you NetGalley and Swann + Bedlam for the chance to read and review "Where the Worm Never Dies" by Quinn Hernandez!
I'm not a horror girly, but I am a poetry girly which is why I was pretty excited to read this. But to sum, horror > poetry when it comes to this book. As poetry, it's fairly standard modern poetry, but the horror made me flinch and quite uncomfortable, which is not to say that it wasn't interesting. Poems like "Breaking the Cycle", "Pawn" and "Not Just Anybody" are really interesting explorations on religion and inherited anger.
