Freely mixing light-hearted horror about zombies and vampires with more serious topics such as homelessness, mental health, racism, death, and polyamory, each poem in this anthology will confront you with the very things society prefers to ignore. Always grounded in speculative fiction, they nonetheless remark upon our real world with a comfortable and revealing familiarity.

"The Rat King is a flowing lyrical gem. It opens up the senses in ways you may not have experienced before. The emotions run high throughout this entire collection and shake your soul onto an entirely new level. The poetry here was meant to be felt and not just read. Absolutely loved this.

"Packed with powerful social commentary, pain, and love, Sumiko Saulson highlights the darkness found in every corner of our everyday world with haunting prose and metaphor."

"In The Rat King, Sumiko Saulson sings the song of the sufferer who has transcended deep hurts through a vibrant estimation of their own beautiful humanity. The poems in the Rat King explore the disfunction, hope, and grace of our collective dark heart and leaves you feeling one lingering emotion at the end: Compassion."

"Sumiko's The Rat King has me in feelings I didn't realize I had. I loved every bit of it."
- Steven Van Patten author of the critically acclaimed Brookwater's Curse trilogy

And you'll have a damn fun time while they do it." -Anton Cancre, This Story Doesn't End the Way We Want All The Time
"With a title as cunning as its author, The Rat King promises a series of tangled tales with extra bite." - Moaner T. Lawrence, author of The Great American Nightmare
