Dark Dispatch Issue #2: Deadly Love
This anthology features deadly romances that cross-examine the nature and meaning of love.
One story examines emotions through an extraterrestrial’s eyes as an alien meets humans for the first time. The darkest aspects of humanity are revealed when the fantasy of their love is threatened. In contrast, we witness a man haunted by the memory of his flame, yearning to connect with her—even if it’s only a delusion. We also discover a woman who is prepared to die over and over again for an immature infatuation, but is her lover devoted enough to follow?
Let your mind wander to the dark places and share your horror love stories about relationships gone wrong.

Editor Destinee Schriner has gathered a great collection of works that demonstrates the deadly side of desire.
My favorites include:
In Sara Tantlinger’s historical tale “With Radium on Her Lips,” love and justice transcend death.
“Bound at the Crossroads” by J.A. Campbell involves an unusual deal with a crossroads demon.
“The Anniversary” by Janette Barber had me at the grotesque image of the goose.
“Soulmates” by R.J. Joseph proves “You can’t magic somebody into loving you….”
“End-Times Magic” by Hailey Piper is a tragically sad tale of love and loss and snakes. “Love-starved, you’ll tangle around anyone who offers scraps, even when laced with venom.”
