APHOTIC LOVE
Anthology on the Depths of Romance
Aphotic: Devoid of light. A depth beyond comprehension.
Love is often depicted as light, joyful, fun, exciting, carefree …
But there is also a darker side to love—a deeper, frightening, desperate, tragic side.
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.
From the love of gods and goddesses to mortals who fell in love with death to the love forbidden between commoners. 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 villain who burned the world so his love could be the hero, two immortals who give up everything to live and love, a lonely queen whose touch turns loved ones to ice, a romantic moment re-lived and lost in gold paint. Promises made and promises broken.
Some fall in love. And some fall out. After all, … all’s fair in aphotic love …
Includes “Keros” by D.A. Randall

Now you see them … now you don’t…

Who hasn’t felt invisible, at one time or another?
What if it became real?
What if you dreamed of the power of invisibility, and achieved it at too high a price?

Which story could be your story … but for the grace of God?
