Sex Lives of Monsters
by Helen Marshall
Kelp Queen Press., 2013
ISBN: 978-0-9876959-1-8
“In Sex Lives of Monsters, Helen Marshall gives you a key, and a candle with only a few minutes of light left, and dares you to open that door to the room you have told yourself time and time again you will never enter. This book is that room… This is horror poetry where mouths do more than scream. Highly recommended.”
– David Clink, Monster
