    About this ebook

    “Christina Sng is a composer of dark imaginative verse, often as beautiful as it is, well, macabre. While her distinctive work makes its way onto magazine racks now and again, Sng’s poetry graces small press periodicals beyond number.

    The Darkside of Eden is a collection of this prolific scribe’s work, and includes 18 poems, all but “Succubus” previously published. (Her poetry), by turns morose, beautiful, and mysterious, is always as dark as Jagermeister or a cup of joe not compromised by sugar or cream.”

    – Kane S. Latranz, reviewer for alt.press, alibi

    “A highly recommended chapbook from an extraordinary poet of dark verse.”

    – Jon Hodges, writer, poet, founder of Project Pulp

    “Outstanding break-up poetry, with just the right amount of pride, bitterness and turn of the knife. Brilliant.”

    – Megan J Bulloch, reviewer for The Swamp

    “This is a superb collection. I’ve got mine; get yours.”

    – Tyree Campbell, editor of Aoife’s Kiss
