About the author
Alexis Child
2 books2 followersAlexis Child hails from Toronto, Canada; home to dreams and nightmares. She worked at a Call Crisis Center befriending demons of the mind that roam freely amongst her writings. Alexis once lived with a Calico-cat child sleuthing all that went bump in the night and is haunted by the memory of her cat. She had a small measure of underground success with her gothic rock and darkwave bands in the past. Besides having rare mystical experiences she hopes are not just short circuits in the brain, she writes dark poetry, starving in the garret with her muse. A starving child is a frightful sight. A starving vampire is even worse. Please donate non-perishable food items and B-negative blood (and make it a double!).
Alexis’ fiction has been featured in Danse Macabre, Schlock, Screams of Terror, and U.K.’s Dark of Night Magazine. Her poetry has been featured in numerous online and print publications, including Aphelion, Black Petals, Blood Moon Rising, The Horror Zine, parABnormal Magazine, The Sirens Call and elsewhere. Her first collection of poetry, Devil in the Clock, a dark and sinister slice of the macabre is available on Amazon. Alexis' second collection of poetry, Singing the Bones, is now available on Amazon and from Cyberwit Publishing.

Sat up by the fire one evening reading this dark little book. Paired well
with Malbec, but when phantoms cast by the snapping flames began to dance
with Child's haunting poetry, I knew I was in for a sleepless night.
With odes to Jack the Ripper, and nuances of Leilah Wendell, Child's
expressions and observations of all things sinister and wicked are quite penetrating.
One imagines a cloaked enchantress uttering these invocations from deep within her lair.
The words are alive.
In particular: Beggar's Curse Gypsy Graveyard Night Visitations: Les Incubus Broken Flowers
A talented poet, a twisted wordsmith, a connoisseur of imagery,
an architect of nightmares, Child does not disappoint.
