Pre-Order A COMPLEX ACCIDENT OF LIFE
Inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Jessica McHugh's debut poetry collection A Complex Accident of Life combines visual art and text to create 52 pieces of Gothic blackout poetry exploring the intense passion, enigmatic nature, and transformative pleasure of life, viewed through the kaleidoscopic lens of a female horror artist.
“In A Complex Accident of Life, Jessica McHugh strikingly combines different modes of art to create a truly unique collection. This remix of a beloved work through blackout poetry shows a lot of care in every selected word and the arrangement within each piece. I enjoyed the visuals just as much as the poems themselves. True spirit, passion, and creativity live within every piece; the book is not only an exquisite tribute to Mary Shelley, but also cleverly showcases McHugh’s own beautiful poetic talent. Highly recommended!” - Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil’s Dreamland
