Description

A collection of tiny terrors from Bram Stoker Award ® winner Christina Sng. The Gravity of Existence is a weight lifted, a monster freed, a princess with sneakers, a spell for a better world. From one of the leading voices in dark verse, this collection delights in the misunderstood, putting a new spin on werewolves, basilisks, sirens, ghosts, aliens, pandemics, fairy tales and myths. Sng gives new voice to classic heroines and the result is terrifying, magical, and fantastic.

Advance Praise

“Christina Sng is the Emily Dickinson of tiny genre verse. Her new collection is simply delightful. For example: “vampiric fog/ the forgotten tales/ of anemia“, or “thrown away in recycling/glass slippers stained with blood/ from the stepsisters’ /severed toes”. Some thought-provoking, philosophical, others have you smiling without realizing. Whether you’re in flight above the earth, or simply in a mood to be fantastically regaled, there’s many a poem you’ll enjoy! A fitting addition to your bookcase from an award-winning poet.” –Marge Simon, multiple Bram Stoker winner, author of VICTIMS. 

“A spell-binding touchstone of poetry, Christina Sng’s done it again! This book of poems is evocative, haunting, surprising and heart-breakingly poignant. Her use of language is exquisite. Every word counts in the brevity of her poetry. Her minimal poems reflect the strength of thoughts and emotions that comprise the worlds she creates. The Gravity of Existence is a must read!”

—t.santitoro, editor, Scifaikuest

“Christina Sng's The Gravity of Existence is a rapture of profound, visceral emotions, gutted on the page in all their glory. Her terrors cut deep, some playing with the undead, while others run colder like shafts of darkness that penetrate the reader's heart. Her poems, as ever, are sublime.”

—Eva Roslin, reviewer
