Step into the candlelit world of Midnight Poetry: A Brambletale Press Anthology, a collection of spooky classic poems for kids ages 8–12.

Curated by Philip Graham, this creepy anthology brings together timeless verses by Poe, Dickinson, Shakespeare, Lovecraft and other unforgettable voices. From the mysterious visitor in The Witch to the shadow of The Raven, these poems explore autumn’s beauty and the delicious unease of things that stir after dark.

With black ink illustrations inspired by vintage Halloween imagery, Midnight Poetry invites readers to gather close, read aloud, and listen a little more carefully to the whispered words of the dead.
