PITS & CRYPTS – Latest Arena Poetry contest

Two hundred years ago this January, Edgar Allan Poe, maestro of the macabre, was born to a couple of impoverished actors. In spite of this inauspicious start or perhaps because of it, he went on to write a whole raft of chilling horror stories and poems which still hold the power to terrify readers and inspire erstwhile horror writers.

To celebrate his penchant for unholy terror, our Arena contest this month calls for a 12 line horror poem either set in a crypt or featuring the denizens of the underworld!
