{"product_id":"9780789344304","title":"A Midnight Treasury of Macabre and Weird Poems - Ana Sampson","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perfect book for fans of Edgar Allan Poe and, more widely, for those who love their dark side with a touch of horror. Poetry s fascination with the weird and the macabre has a long literary history, and Sampson sates modern appetites with this curated collection of over 300 of the best poems published on the subject.   There is a fine and terrible tradition of poetry of the occult, the macabre, and the sinister, and this anthology will introduce the reader to both celebrated antiheroes like Keats s serpentine Lamia and Christina Rossetti s thirsty goblins, and less well-known figures from nightmare, such as Violet Fane s deadly Victorian siren and Clare Pollard s ultramodern Reynardine. From the gothic dreamscapes of Edgar Allan Poe to Coleridge s unhallowed ocean, explore the mind s dark places with poems that stretch back centuries to the latest terror from today s bards. The sinister but seductive beauty of illustrators such as Harry Clarke accompany the poems in a volume that will speak to those drawn to the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ana Sampson","offers":[{"title":"368 pages, 30 COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS \/ 23\/09\/2025 \/ Literature: history \u0026 criticism","offer_id":56966891372919,"sku":"9780789344304","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780789344304.jpg?v=1775132319","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780789344304","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
