Poems about Vampires, vampirism and related creatures...

8) Bad Omens
Author
Description
"Bad Omens by Jessica Drake-Thomas begets a canticle of death and resurrection, a spell for love and revenge, a bellow to claw your way out of the dark and back into this world with fire in your heart. Gothic and mystical, this occult collection drips with saccharine siren songs that tear you apart and inspire righteous anger.
