White Teeth, Red Blood by X Various Authors

Poems to make your blood run cold. Poems to make your heart beat faster. Poems to sink your teeth into...

Three centuries of vampiric verse.

Seductively sinister, both frightening and alluring, the undead have always been the perfect vessel for humanity's fears and desires. The poems in this collection of dark delights range across centuries and languages; poems that tell stories, offer warnings, and imagine life in the shadows, by writers such as Lord Byron, Emily Dickinson, Charles Baudelaire, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Ishmael Reed, and many more.

With an introduction by Claire Kohda, author of Woman, Eating.

Contents include:

Chilling Tales - poems by Gottfried August Burger, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Robert Southey, Anne Bannerman, John Stagg, Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Rafael Campo

Dire Warnings - poems by Heinrich August Ossenfelder, John Keats, Henry Thomas Liddell, James Clerk Maxwell, Charles Baudelaire, Christina Rossetti, Madison Julius Cawein, Rudyard Kipling, Conrad Aiken, Edna St Vincent Millay, James Weldon Johnson
