Description

My darling, come to me! At the instant when he attempted to embrace her his arms, suddenly turning rigid, remained outstretched. With a shriek of horror, he struggled to draw them back struggled, in the empty brightness of the sunshine, as if some invisible grip had seized him.' Enter a world of dark romance, where Gothic tragedy meets tales of transgression against society and where deaths parting of lovers may only be a temporary barrier. Romantic fiction expert Jo Parsons is the matchmaker between the reader and a carousel of authors from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries whose bewitching, classic short stories explore unearthly passions, ghostings (of the Gothic kind) and demonic dalliances.
