Brimming with monstrous magic, Poems to Sink Your Teeth Into features literature’s most ghoulish characters. Rediscover classic authors and savour new ones in this anthology, featuring more than eighty poems celebrating icons in the world of horror.

Vampiric apparitions dreamed up by Charles Baudelaire and John Keats bewitch and shapeshift before our eyes. Demonic lovers sink ships as sirens tell tales of drowned sailors. Christina Rossetti and John Donne depict ghosts doomed to haunt their loved ones for ever. As witch-burning flames crackle, Shakespeare’s weird sisters chant spells. Edgar Allan Poe’s raven makes an appearance, joined by Percy Shelley’s Witch of Atlas. Literature’s most terrifying characters are lurking on every page. Yet Emily Dickinson believes danger comes from inside our own mind . . .
