Kyla Lee Ward

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Kyla Lee Ward is a Sydney-based creative who works in many modes, that have garnered her Australian Shadows and Aurealis awards. She has placed in the Rhyslings and received Stoker and Ditmar nominations. The Macabre Modern and Other Morbidities is her second collection of dark and fantastic poetry after 2011's The Land of Bad Dreams. Reviewers have accused her of being “gothic and esoteric”, “weird and exhilarating” and of “giving me a nightmare.”

Her work on RPGs including Demon: the Fallen saw her appear as a guest at the inaugural Gencon Australia. Her short film, 'Bad Reception', screened at the Third International Vampire Film Festival and she was a member of the Theatre of Blood repertory company, which also produced her work. A practicing occultist, she likes raptors, swordplay and the Hellfire Club.

Please permit me to explain my personal scheme of ratings - I would prefer to simply provide reviews, but here at Goodreads, one is a necessary precursor to the other. 3 is the most common score I give, because it means the book was good. I enjoyed it, it was well-presented and properly proofed, and I consider the author to have achieved their objective. I give out 4s much more rarely and believe I have only ever given out one 5. 2s are also rare and mean I found the book flawed in respect of its own intent, or atrocious formatting and proofing errors. I have never yet rated a book at 1.
