116279 Deliciously dark poetry ideal for dark winter nights!
Presenting my collection of the dark and the macabre... 'The Wicked Come.'

The Wicked Come is a collection of Dark Romantic, Fantasy and Gothic Horror poetry from the speculative writer and poet P.J.Reed.
The poems in this collection are beautifully descriptive, well-crafted snapshots of the lives of people inhabiting the shadowlands of civilised society.
This collection is an exploration of the darker side of humanity. The consequences of one sided love affairs and how obsession can easily turn to murder. It explores the aftermath of when sanity crashes against madness.
Readers of P.J.Reed’s work are introduced to a variety of characters inhabiting a dystopian society: the gourmet detective, the doctor with unusual hobbies, the unnatural gardener and the too ardent lovers. Each character has their own dark tale to share, their lives unravelling before the reader in minimalistic, deadly verses.
The Wicked Come also delves into the realm of the supernatural, with twists and visions of a fascinating world just beyond our perception.

“Startling and fresh. Dark reads for Dark Romantics”

116279 Welcome to the world of intrigue, conspiracy and the macabre...

The Flaming Horror Review #1 is out now.

This is the first of leaked evidence of the sinister, macabre and perhaps even supernatural goings on centred around the small US town of Thorny Ridge. The first file is of Anna, a single mother working the late shift at the Candy Shack on Saturday night. This file chronicles how her life was changed forever one Halloween. More evidence of the Thorny Ridge conspiracy will be released soon.

116279 May I present my haiku book... Haiku Nation.
"Haiku Nation is a breathtaking collection of powerful modern haiku which challenges the reader to seek out and see the world afresh."
The poems in Haiku Nation offer an intoxicating insight into the ethereal world of haiku. The collection is divided into sections comprising: the Seasons, Mountains, Wanderings and Waterfalling.
The Seasons reflect a deep investigation into the ways of nature and her poetry makes you look at nature with an altered perspective. The haiku ‘see the warm rain drops’ is a dramatic, sensitive reinterpretation of a seemingly normal occurrence. While the poem, ‘gunnera ripples’ offers a beautiful image of the poet caught in a spring shower while walking.
The poet uses the concept of the seasons as a metaphor for the progress of people’s life gently moving from the genteel progress of autumnal existence in ‘elderly couples’ to the fatality of winter and ‘little grey cloud cries’. This concept is handled with great delicacy and beauty is found in all stages of life’s journey.
The Wanderings section reflects this poet’s love of travel with poems written from her visits to Kefalonia, Crete and the Far East. The solitude of the poetic existence is also remarked upon in several haiku such as ‘alone sea watching’ when a beautiful moment is captured forever in words.
"Colourful pictures painted in words...exquisite..." Peter, Devon.
"Highly Recommended! Soul touching poems!" Frances, Kent. Haiku Nation by P.J.Reed
