This can be a great gateway to reading poetry for people who have darker (or just grosser) leanings and have a dislike of poetry due to a negative experience with it (probably in school). The book is divided into horror poems, sleaze poems and trash poems (and non-classifiable poems) and the selections for each section are appropriate. Generally speaking the poetry is highly readable and conversational. The poems run the spectrum in terms of pushing the reader's buttons, offending taste and thro...
Absolute Fire. Drinking games? Who needs Cards Against Humanity when you got Horror Sleaze Trash? Just saying. I see you $carlotti. This really is as good as it gets. Great job, Arthur. We salute you. And your leopard panties.Truly, an incredible collection!!! Shout out to my very faves in no special order: ‘Fucking’ A. Lynn Blumer, ‘I Write Poetry’ Corey White, ‘Can’t Stop’ and ‘New Girl’ Johnny Scarlotti, Love Poems’ Omar Alexandre, ‘Making Feminism Great Again’ India LaPlace, ‘Porn Star’ J.A....
Some left me scratching my head thinking "What the hell did i just read?" It had me glued to the end though- so i suppose it did it's job.I got the free download, and didn't buy a physical copy which would be hard to hide what I was reading in public (Maybe even saved from being kicked out of places).
Friends, lately it has come to my attention that my views on poetry have been circumscribed by that rich pedagogical tradition which so often blurs the line between edification and deterrence, that is; English class. Thankfully, betwixt these (now thoroughly soiled) pages, I discovered the vital energies necessary to kick the vile albatross of academia directly in the Newton’s Cradle and drive it back, with its bollocks loudly clattering all the while, to the stultifying habitat from whence it c...
HST Press never ceases to deliver a wild variety of Poetry true to their namesake. What I loved most about this collection was it felt like being at a basement rager where each poet hands you a different drug or drink with the only context being "you'll survive", but for a moment there you're not sure if you will. You do survive, but you still wake up naked under the hedges, your gut in knots and cheeks sore from laughter while you recollect the evening with your thumb stuck in your own mouth.An...
Spoopy Filthy Detritus. Not enough tits.
I took my time reading this collection, savouring the fine poems contained within. One of the things I dislike with their quarterly releases is the length, you just get into it and boom it's over. In this book that has been overcome as you get 240 pages crammed full of poems/prose by some of my favourite writers, Johnny Scarlotti, Ben John Smith, Scott Laudati, Rebecca Gransden, A. Lynn Blumer, John D. Robinson and Leah Mueller just to name a few....even the mighty Harry Whitewolf manages to sli...

A thoroughly entertaining compilation that made me smile, snicker, cringe and applaud, sometimes all at once. This comprehensive collection was wholly satisfying due to the intoxicating mix of subjects, emotions and writing styles. Keep 'em coming, HST.
See that ball of slime arcing across the literary void? That's just HST hitting it out of the park again. Ben John Smith finds a touching redemption in the last six lines of 'Big Shot'; Rebecca Gransden raises a smile as she confirms all my fears of the female species, whilst Chelsea Oliver confirms all my shame of the male; JJ Campbell just made me laugh. Another fine outing for the malicious mavericks of HST.
Such a great collection filled with a variety of really wonderful writers.

Warning: satire with triggers of probably every sort possible. I have too many triggers, but I also have a fucked up sense of humor. This book is available under Arthur’s review, so I read two dozen pages or so. For some reason, this book was in my search results when looking for any book pertaining to Corey Quinn, a scathingly humorous cloud expert. But I don’t think he wrote any of these....?
