Malum In Se

21 poems dragged from the gutter.

Grotesque, profane, and soaked in the foul runoff of humanity. These aren't poems for the hopeful or the healed. Inside: serial killers humming lullabies. Clergy with blood under their nails. Medics and cleaners and cops who’ve seen too much and felt too little. Racist murderers. Mass shooters. People you pass on the street and pray you don’t recognize.

Each verse is a body bag. Each stanza, a morgue drawer sliding shut.

Features front and back cover art by Muhamed Syadat Baihaqi [@blasphemy_ink] and interior illustrations by Luis Perez-Banus [@perezbanus], both pulling imagery from the same black depths these poems crawl from.
