PRAISE FOR Under Her Eye
"This wide-ranging definition of horror allows for an equally broad inspection of its identification and incarnation, creating a powerful anthology of horror and its concurrent antonym: hope." –Midwest Book Review
"Award-winning editors Ryan and Murray have ratcheted the unease up a notch... brutally honest and poignant... each [poem] gives readers more than they expect, over and over again." –Booklist, Starred Review
"This collection shows that not only does genre poetry have strength and power, but also has purpose and meaning. Any collection like this that gives voice to the voiceless and unheard should be championed. Any collection that raises money to fight the real monsters in the world should be purchased. The fact that the work in this collection is incredibly well-written by a vast array of talented authors and approaches the topic from so many creative and brutally terrifying angles should be the only temptation necessary for every horror reader to purchase this book for themselves and all their friends and relatives." –Cemetery Dance
