About the authors
Grace R. Reynolds is a native of the great state of New Jersey, where she was first introduced to the eerie and
strange thanks to local urban legends of a devil creeping through the Pine Barrens. Since then, her curiosity with
things that go bump in the night bloomed into creative expression as a dark poet, horror, and thriller fiction
writer.
When Grace is not writing she can be found dreaming up macabre scenarios inspired by the mundane realities of life. Her short fiction and poetry has been published by various presses, including Brigid's Gate Publishing, Creature Publishing, Dark Matter Magazine, Death Knell Press, and more.She is the author of two poetry collections, Lady of The House (2021) and The Lies We Weave (2023), both released by Curious Corvid Publishing.

Meg Baines hails from the beautiful east coast of Canada. Writing since a very young age, she recently decided to share her words with the world. Her debut book, Interstellar Love Songs and Melancholic Melodies, shares her love of space and the beauty that is love, as well as the darker side, the stark contrast of melancholy that is heartbreak.
Meg has an autistic daughter who is her moon and stars, a houseful of animals, and is currently completing a degree in Chemical Engineering.
John W. Leys was first moved to write song lyrics after being introduced to the Beatles and Bob Dylan when he was a teenager. A chance encounter with a radioactive fountain pen turned him into a ukulele playing poet, a curse he’s had to live with for decades.
The greatest influences on his poetry have been Lord Byron, Leonard Cohen, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, Catullus, Erica Jong, and a chemical imbalance in his brain.
John’s first poetry collection, The Darkness of his Dreams, was published in 2019. His second book, Whispers of a One-Eyed Raven: Mythological Poetry, followed the next year. He’s also been published in anthologies from Indie Blu(e) Publishing, one of which he helped edit. He often wonders, in the third person, if anyone reads the Author Bios, or if he’s just wasting his time trying to be clever.
When not writing poetry, John can usually be found playing one of his many ukuleles or feeding the crows & ravens in the park.

While I'm grateful to have my pieces selected to represent my experience in dealing with anxiety and depression over the years, it isn't about me. Each and every one of the pieces presented by the poets and writers in this anthology has experienced or been a witness to the devastating effects of the various forms and varying degrees of mental illness. For many of us, being open about how we were truly feeling was difficult as most of the population just doesn't discuss a perceived weakness. It would be shameful, even embarrassing, and unproductive, something I dealt a lot with when I was younger. So I was quiet about it. I didn't even have a name for it until I was much older.
This book certainly doesn't celebrate the things which affect us but it does openly discuss how a person reacts to it, feels about it and how to even celebrate the byproducts of it. Adversity can foster empowerment, especially when one is supported throughout the process and beyond.
To anyone who truly wants to understand how a person with mental illness feels, I would recommend this anthology for valuable insight.
