🎃 NIGHTMARE POETRY: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 🎃

October's Nightmare Poetry is opening a little early this month as I'm heading away and won't be here to open it at the usual time.


And since Halloween is creeping closer, this month's poetry has a Halloween theme. 👻

Write us something dark, eerie or unsettling inspired by Halloween. Where you take that is completely up to you.


As always, two poems will be selected for publication in the next issue of Dark Descent.


Drop your poem below and let's see what October brings out of you. 🎃🖤

September’s theme is ready, so let’s see what dark poetry you can come up with. Two poems will be selected for publication in Dark Descent magazine.

Absolutely No Remorse


As our dog barked half the night,

A creature showed up without fright. 

It left a most awful horrendous site,

Not comprehended as being right.


Not knowing that it now mattered

That bones laid about scattered.

As if every body had shattered;

Blood everywhere had splattered.


The creature screamed itself hoarse;

There's not an unplayed with corpse.

Not a single rat left alive, of course, 

Our cat has absolutely no remorse.

Professor Armitage and the AI Terror

Having returned from the mountains of madness

Armitage near out of his mind

He was finally broken

When he received a parking fine


While he’s been away

The parking meter had run out
