All In: A Novel of Love in Poetry is a brilliant and seamless look at the way two lives become one. Written like a novel in two voices the book eventually blends until the voices are one voice telling a story about time, survival and love. In a very real way we see how these people reconnect and overcome trauma that had kept them apart. This is a real look at the small but oh so important moments that make a relationship last and a love grow deeper over time. As a sailor who deployed in 2020 to Manhattan to work in a make-shift hospital, I found the Covid experience shared here rang true and the details important and very real. Also as a man married for 27 years, I believe I know real love when I see it. I rooted for Sarah and Norman from the start and I felt each small beautiful thing that happened to both of them!!--Matthew Borczon, retired Navy Hospital Corpsman, author of 19 books of poetry, including Post Deployment.All In, written by Pris Campbell and Scott Owens, is a sequel to their book Shadows Trail Them Home, featuring Sara and Norman who reunite so many years later. Like other readers enraptured by the original story, I have waited for another collaboration. These well-crafted poems exemplify all the honed skills you'd expect from these talented poets, with a call-and-response feel between the two main characters' poems and a compelling narrative that had me turning pages to see what happened next. Even the Afterwords is brilliant and offers a glimpse of their writing process, their alter egos, and their long-lasting friendship. This was the book I didn't know I needed to read. Norman says in one of the poems, "he has fallen in love with happy endings," to which I must respond, "Me, too, Norman. Me, too."--Malaika King Albrecht, Heart of Pamlico Poet LaureateI've long been a fan of Pris Campbell's work and am delighted to have discovered her collaborating with the wonderfully talented Scott Owens in this book. These two make quite a pair. Their poetic acumen is matched in this book by their depth of empathy for their characters, Norman and Sara, a neat trick indeed. The poems combine into a seamless narrative as remarkable as the story they tell. This is a book of great power with its deep dive into the territories of love, lust, sickness, loss and redemption. The reader becomes a voyeur to the stripped bare needs - both the beautiful and the mundane -- of these all-too-human characters. Prepare yourself for an intimate journey that will leave you sometimes breathless, sometimes broken, always engaged, always wanting more.--Jeff Weddle, author of Driving the Lost Highway.

"There is a tangible tension and a feeling of discomfort in his writing that is at once refreshing and unnerving." Helen Scott, peer review A woman haunted by a childhood nursery rhyme. A literary scholar obsessed with tracking down the origins of a primeval scream. A boy with behavioural problems who is sent to an old country estate in the hopes he can be reformed. These are just some of the characters encountered in Alistair Rey's unique brand of weird fiction. This collection features stories where places have their own secrets, where terror comes alive, where the simplest of us find nothing is so simple anymore. We can no longer trust music and art; we become bound to them to learn their horrors. We cannot trust the mundane or commonplace; we become absorbed beneath its deceiving exterior. We learn that the ordinary can rapidly change, and the extraordinary become normal. We can accept what we are, who others perceive us to be, and what we may become. But only if we realize we inhabit a world of diminishing returns, and truthfully . . . we are not here. "Alistair's collection of stories is an incredibly cerebral, dark adventure that leaves you contemplating every shadowy corner in your house." Tasha Reynolds, The Sinister Scoop
