Description

Doomed Romances: Strange Tales of Uncanny Love edited by Joanne Ella Parsons

Trade Paperback – British Library – Jan 2025 – 303 pages

“Love will have its sacrifices. No sacrifice without blood. Let us go to sleep now.”

A prophecy threatens a volcanic upheaval for a star-crossed pair. A forbidden rite binds a dark arts dabbler to a phantom bride. A barstool chancer invites a devilish retribution on the dance floor.

Beckoning from this tome are twelve tales of dark romance and undying passions hailing from 1832 to 2022, marrying bewitching classics by Mary Shelley, Wilkie Collins and Angela Carter with twisting modern pieces by Nalo Hopkinson, Tracy Fahey and V. Castro—alongside the classic Gothic novella of sapphic vampire romance Carmilla.

Indulging in the strangest eddies of literary love, this new anthology bids you enter a doom-laden yet irresistibly seductive corner of the Weird.
