I just discovered that The Withering is listed in the Top 10 Best Horror Poetry Collections of 2020 by Tor Nightfire. This is the first review of The Withering to surface. I am so honored to be included in this list along with the amazing talents of Marge Simon and Mary Turzillo, Angela Yuriko Smith, Christina Sng, and K. A. Opperman.
"I love it when a poetry book is both visual and lyrical. Dioses is able to pull off both, making The Withering a sort of picture book of macabre verse. The artwork initially reminded me of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark—they are that creepy. Normally, rhyming poetry isn’t my thing, but the meter and rhyme of Dioses’ poems turns each one into a spell or devil-song that sticks in your head. These poems are great for the Halloween season and doing a read around of poems over webcam or with the people who reside with you." -Aigner Loren Wilson
If you're itching to read some awesome poetry, check out this list. If you already have The Withering and have read it, I'd really appreciate it if you dropped a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. The Withering is available through Amazon as well as through Jackanapes Press.
