Publisher's Synopsis
In the era of sparkling vampires, lovelorn werewolves, and fallen guardian angels, the idea of romance and fear has gotten a little muddy. Mon C ur Mort aims to clear the water some. Combining romance and horror is far from a new concept. Who was that gently rapping tapping on Poe's protagonist's chamber door? Was it the lost Lenore or was it The Raven? Nevermore. The foundation of horror fiction is built upon fear. No greater fear exists than the loss of someone or something dear. Twenty-seven international authors bring us tales that range from humorous to horrifying, lyrical to lurid, touching to terrorizing. Regardless of tone, they all have one thing in common, they deal with the theme of otherworldly fear associated with love. In Mon C ur Mort the vampires do not sparkle and the werewolves wear shirts in public. Each story speaks to our core emotions of love and fear. A chance encounter with the perfect girl. A walk down memory lane on a wedding anniversary. The final moments of life unraveling in time and reality. Revenge is served and the ultimate sacrifice is made, all in the name of love. But be warned, just as the stories may touch your heart, they might just rip it out of your chest."
