Woes And The Mantle

Book 1: The Burden (Horror Poem Collection)

By: J.J. Egosi

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Beneath crashing seas and blood-red horizons, a chorus of voices cries out against the weight of existence. Woes and the Mantle: The Burden is the first volume in a four-book cycle of gothic poetry that merges cosmic horror, dark fantasy, and the bleak beauty of apocalyptic verse.

Written in a style reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, this collection weaves tales of leviathans, drowned tribunals, cursed oaths, and spectral echoes that refuse to die. Each poem balances rhythm and ruin—stanzas shift from long, tidal roll to sharp, cutting fragments, mirroring the collapse of worlds both real and imagined.

For readers drawn to haunting imagery,

Lovecraftian nightmares, gothic atmosphere, and darkly lyrical storytelling, The Burden offers an unforgettable descent into the abyss.

Within these pages, you’ll encounter:

• Mythical creatures and abyssal horrors
• Tales of swords, sorcery, and ruin
• Cosmic dread, judgment, and undertow
• A new poetic cycle that begins with weight and ends in silence

If you are a fan of cosmic horror poetry, dark fantasy epics, or the eerie lyricism of Poe and Lovecraft, this volume will drag you beneath the waves and leave you gasping for more.
