The Crown of Glass is an upcoming “cosmic horror” poetry book, written by Sebastian Michaels. Patrick Granger heads west into the strangest unknown, looking for his long lost love Helena Winscott, who “vanished” into the night, never to be seen again. From stars that always watch to skeletons in the horizon, The Crown of Glass rises, and shines with a beautiful ocean blue that floods the night sky.

The Crown of Glass is a haunting collection of interconnected poems that trace the collapse of memory, identity, and love beneath the weight of something vast and watching.

Told across seven nights, this poetic narrative follows those drawn to the constellation known as The Crown, souls bound by grief, obsession, and the irresistible pull of forgotten pacts.

Through voices both living and lost, each page fractures the boundary between the natural world and the unknowable, revealing a story where beauty and horror are inseparable.

“A true record of vanishings, of voices, of what the stars took and never returned. I tried to catalog it. Find whatever lives beyond the ridge. All I found was evidence of a curse still unfolding. Elise is still nowhere to be seen.”

- Maren Voss ★★★★☆

“It’s not a story. It’s a trail of starlight and graves. I walked it once, thinking I was chasing love. But The Crown doesn’t grant wishes. It remembers you. And if you’re lucky, it forgets.”

- Soren Wilder ★★★★★
