Welcome to The Martyr's Guide to Poison Tasting. A macabre collection of poetry and illustrations perfectly blended by Gary J. Fraboni. If Edgar Allen Poe wrote children's poetry, it would look like Martyr's Guide. If Shel Silverstein studied hip hop for 20 years and never took an antidepressant, it would look like Martyr's Guide. Sweet, melancholy, funny, charming, and so dark it drips with blackness. A perfect read for teens and adults looking to break away from boring traditional poetry.
