Oh, and here's your cup of tea - we promise it's not poisoned! Enjoy.</p><p>In a world where beautiful smiles hide dark hearts, your own inner evil awaits your arrival. Written by Abigail Wildes and illustrated by Jeanna Pappas, this dark and wonderous poetry book has the depth and themes of Poe with the feel and fun of Silverstein, all puncuated by fascinating artwork.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Wildes' poems are fantastical ballads; by turns dark and melancholy, whimsical and sublime. In these pages lurk lost loves, ghost birds, blood-obsessed fiends, organ donors, and more. Like sitting down to afternoon tea with Lewis Carroll and Edgar Allen Poe."</p><p>--Lenore Hart, author of <em>The Raven's Bride</em> and series editor of <em>The Night Bazaar</em> anthologies</p><p> </p><p>"With a voice that echos Edna St. Vincent Millay, Abigail Wildes dances words across the pages with joyous abandon. Her chosen formal tone, rich with rhyme and reason, reflect a craft that nods to the historic while at the same time is like a timeless black dress, perfect for the occasion, any occasion, but especially high tea with Her Majesty, Death."</p><p>--Danelle Lejeune, author of <em>Landlocked: Etymology of Whale Fish and Grace</em></p><p> </p><p>"Dark deliciousness! It's a whimsical sprinkle of macabre in your favorite tea. I found it to be a sweet, but not sugar-coated take on life, loss, death, and heartbreak. You <em>need</em><strong> </strong>to read this if you're into pretty dark things. At times I laughed out loud, and others, I just let the flow relax me into the storytelling. The illustrations are absolutely fabulous, like icing on cake. It's the perfect bath read with tea or wine."</p><p>--Hotsy Totsy Haus</p><br>
