Horror Reads editorial team
Horror desk
Jason V Brock’s poetry collection Totems and Taboos explores a chilling intersection of dark speculative verse, environmental dread, and deeply personal anxieties. Weaving across stark science fiction concepts and haunting indigenous motifs, the collection creates an atmosphere that is both thought-provoking and profoundly unsettling. Rather than relying on cheap shocks, Brock crafts quiet, atmospheric unease through experimental structures and striking illustrations that linger long after reading. It is a thoughtful exploration of human taboo and ecological collapse, perfectly suited for readers who appreciate literary horror, dark speculative poetry, and verse that examines the monsters we build both within ourselves and across our changing landscapes.
