“Grace Reynolds once again uses her keyboard as a spinneret to weave a collection of dark poetry like no other. Themes of girlhood, womanhood and motherhood collide, exploring all the ways that the female form is consumed in life as well as in death. Fans of dark prose will enjoy this beautifully written, highly personal poetry collection that poses the question of why we choose to believe the lies we tell ourselves about ourselves, and empowers us to break the cycle.”—Wendy Dalrymple, author of WHITE IBIS

“THE LIES WE WEAVE is an unflinching look into the darkness and the stories you tell yourself to survive it. This book is a dark song, a paean to mental health, motherhood, and the beautiful grotesque. Grace R. Reynolds is one of the best horror poets working in the genre today.”—Jessica Drake-Thomas, author of BURIALS and BAD OMENS

"In her darkly gorgeous new book, Grace Reynolds has crafted a poetry collection that is both feminist and feminine. Beautiful and bloody, aching and viscerally affecting, Reynolds skillfully carves her words into our flesh—this is all of us, each struggle to be seen and to hide, to reclaim our bodies and also create ourselves anew.”—Laurel Hightower, author of CROSSROADS and BELOW
