This is lovely, Dean! It reminds me of a proctologist checking his handy work, and saying, "Beautiful."
Your content flawless, as usual, I have two questions of form, actually, tempo:
Bring your own light, it's rather dark; [By leaving out "own" the tempo is improved.
I am horror writer, true, [Talk about nit-picky... I don't see why you didn't add an "a" after "am". It seems an omission, especially when the tempo is best with it there.
Just suggestions to take or reject.

I am [a] horror writer, true,
or
I'm a horror writer, true,
Some folks just love to scare and spook people. Nuthin' wrong with that. Hitchcock and King made a fortune doing it. A fine way to round out your year, Dean.
With each and every scream you make --
with every single breath you take,
I'll snuggle closer when I hear
you writhe in agony and fear.
A bit scary - but all in good fun.

Make us writhe, you do indeed
make our fragile conscious' scream
gore and bile and horrid stuff
you feed us till we scream 'Enough!'
so why do we return to see
your latest gore stained victims bleed
could it be that deep inside
you reveal the things we hide
that everyone from whore to priest
would like to see our banes deceased
and easily imagined foes
meet grisly ends like in your poems
Sorry, I waxed poetic when I read your poem.
I regret to inform you, but some of us have our own dark side that could compete with yours.
I think it's therapeutic to release some of this darkness onto unsuspecting readers. :)
Fantastic poem, once again.

I'll bet your pastor will be squirming in his belfry Dean! I guess the scripture, should read "unless you love your mother, father, sister or brother or horror more than me, you are not worthy of me..."Matthew 10:37.
This is a brilliantly written poetic rendition, Dean, it was very smooth, the lyrical nature of the work was descriptively great, the rhyming aabb was good, the artwork, which I can't do, embellished and illustrated the work well, blessings, and a healthy. Happy, prosperous and spirit filled new year, thanks for your personal support in 2014. Roy.

Dean, you know I don't often read your work because most is just too dark, but I figured you telling wh y you write horror might not be too bad. Not only that I figured if I read your work and reviewed it might give you a scare
BOO! Patricia

Wonderful and creepy. Yes, the true horror of a writer is not on the pages he writes but within the dark recesses of his twisted mind. Good invitation and perfect presentation. Very 3d.

That's fine for you Dean, you scared me off with ....
Bring your own light, it's rather dark; the stench of death, no life-line spark, of who and what I once had been. Worlds of depravity and sin.
I just hate the dark and that smell uh, uh. I pass. LOL Yep, it's horror! Nancy

I am horror writer, true Why not write- I am a horror writer, true
To me, without the a, it sounds like something is missing, and you don't have to worry about syllable counts or anything else. Just a suggestion. Drew
I agree that we should write what we are passionate about, BTW.

Thanks for the uplifting seasonal artwork, Deano. LOL!
Top meter and rhymes.
Despite being genuine horror, I detect a sense of fun here, and I'm grateful for that, as it avoids inviting more nightmares. :-)
TOP read, my friend.
Cheers, Ray.

Hah, you would be right, Ray. I did intend for this to be a little on the lighter side of horror, LOL. I'm just trying to the end the year just as I began. I gotta' go out with both guns blazing!
Thanks so much, Ray. I sincerely appreciate all of your support throughout the year.
Cheers, mate! :)
