Love isn’t always first dates, first kisses, passion and romance…sometimes it can be hate-filled, vengeful and nothing like the movies.

Love is a battlefield—and in this anthology, everyone loses. Enter if you dare: within these pages, obsession, heartbreak, and desire twist together until even happily-ever-after ends up dead in a ditch.

Bad Romance is not your average love story collection. These are tales where devotion curdles, attraction turns dangerous, and Cupid’s arrow is dipped in poison. From a desperate man’s deal with a witch that ends in tragedy, to a hillbilly necromancer who just can’t let go, to a Martian widow whose wedding plans require a few family skeletons (and teeth) in tow—each story gleefully sabotages the fairy-tale ending. You’ll find obsessed exes, manipulative lovers, monstrous infatuations, and haunting regrets. Sometimes it’s a single text message that brings down a romance; sometimes it’s a grave dug at midnight, or a Valentine’s Day with a murderous twist.

With dark humor and delicious cruelty, Bad Romance shines a blood-red light on the disasters we call love. Each story is a unique exploration of twisted longing: tragic, funny, gory, or simply chilling. If you’ve ever loved the wrong person—or been haunted by your own desires—these tales will feel dangerously close to home.

Brought to you by a legion of twisted storytellers and curated by Black Hare Press, this anthology will make your heart race… and might just make you think twice about saying “I love you.”
