Aphotic Love

Visit the darker side of romance full of desperation, villains, and not-happily ever afters.

Love is often depicted as light, joyful, fun, exciting, or carefree. But a darker side to love lurks under the surface—a frightening, desperate, tragic side.

From the love of gods and goddesses, to mortals who fell in love with death. From pure sweet romance gone astray, to villains who loved the hero. An actress no longer acting she's in love, a phoenix whose lover gives everything to be with her reborn, a lonely queen whose touch turns loved ones to ice, a space station caught between the pain of two lovers.

Dare to dive deep into this raw, emotional collection of short stories, prose, and poems which strives to expose the lightless side of tragedy, heartbreak, desperation, and love.
