Death By Sugar

By E.M McConnell

Death By Sugar is a collection of horror poetry. It seeks to look at what truly frightens or horrifies us, be that supernatural, psychological or gothic horror. What looks back at us when we look in the mirror? What would happen if your loved ones came back? What does the murderer think as they craft their masterpiece? What if the most unassuming, non dangerous items in our lives are secretly sentient, angry, and hateful? Death By Sugar shows us all the ways we can die. But at least we won't starve.

Eryn was born and raised in Oxford, UK but nowadays lives in South Germany with their young family. They have a great dream to travel and visit all the great mountains and lakes of the world. They are a qualified History and English teacher, working freelance with international students.  They write both poetry books and fantasy stories. They have a particular passion for mythology and dragons!  They have been writing poetry since they were 16, including Middle-Earth fan poetry that has appeared in the Tolkien Society’s publication, the Amon Hen. They have also appeared in the Music Anthology from the Sweety Cat Press.  In addition to writing poetry they study with the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids to be a druid, and are working on two fantasy series. One of  which appears to involve steampunk, sky pirates, astral travel and lots of dragons, and the other has a more dystopian bent.  If you want to see more of their writing you can find them on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ErynMcConnell.Writer/  Instagram www.instagram.com/erynmcconnellwriter  And Twitter too https://www.twitter.com/mcconnelleryn
