From one of the most vivaciously audacious and macabre minds of the modern speculative fiction scene, Sinclair's tales are guaranteed to thrill. What readers are saying: 'Natasha Sinclair is a modern Mistress of the Macabre. Inside these pages you will find nine short tales that will shock and scare. Written in an enchanting style that Sinclair's fans have come to love. I highly recommend this one.' -Kevin J. Kennedy, author of Halloween Land 'If you think extreme horror is just a lot of blood and gore splayed out on a page for all to see, it absolutely can be that, but it can also be beautifully poetic where the gore and pain is hidden between gorgeous sentences. You have to move the curtain a bit to peek behind it and see the extreme. I love both styles, and this was very refreshing for me as I read it at a time where I'd been reading a lot of the former style, so this was a nice change of pace.' -Rachel Schommer, Reviewer (Gym_and_Genres) 'Sinclair steers from the derivative drivel available on the market and pulls you into the nightmare fuelled world of horror at its finest.' -Tim Eagle, Author 'If you're into dark horror stories filled with sordid sex and soaked with gore then you're going to want to read this collection-' -Michael, Reviewer (The Neverending TBR) 'Natasha Sinclair seduces her reader with words. Her collection of tales will pull you in, then cut you to the core. "Incesticide" will leave you reeling and clamoring for a merciful release! Sinclair describes unsavory characters and deviant acts in settings so rich with visceral imagery you may well imagine yourself in the bowels of her unique story "Hell," and you may want to linger for the pleasures offered in "Time for Tea." Her writing is malicious like Clive Barker's and as erotic as Anais Nin's. Sinclair holds no detail back, and her fluid prose floods your senses with the darkest fiction smoothly blended with an audacity that will satisfy the most discerning readers of the genre.Natasha will haunt your dreams and nightmares, and you'll be glad she does!' -Ruthann Jagge, author of The New Girls' Patient

From the perspective of killer and victim, each story is intimately portrayed in emotional and horrific detail--focusing on the harrowing and tragic act of suicide. 'If you're like me and hoping to better understand what someone could be thinking about before taking their own life - this book may help you to see that it's not an easy decision. And hopefully it will help you find peace like it did for me.' --Rachel Schommer 'A cut to the bone look at suicide.' --Fiona Chisholm

Do readers buy poetry from undead poets? Do they consume it if it's not free? There's nothing quite like picking the prose and verses of the dead like vultures. There's freedom in that unpicking, with no one alive to contest - at least not the mind which birthed them. Sinclair consumes written and spoken as she does in its lyrical form, dressed in music and paint. Dancing to the beat or screaming into the voids of despair. Here, Sinclair presents Clan Witch: Found Shadows, no music, no paint, just words. A mix-tape of drabbles and anarchic free verse poetry. The writer still lives. Perhaps you'll read her unruly verse before the witch is dead.
