So not a novel of obsession in the normal, evil sense, and the love gone wrong is defined differently, but still a love story that’s dark, tender, and thought-provoking. It’s an over arching love story in which two characters are kept apart no fault of their own but due to his new found “powers.” It’s one of the most heart-wrenching novels I’ve read and I was devastated by the end. Providence is a supernatural thriller that is the re-telling partly of Lovecraft’s The Dunwich Horror and part Beauty and the Beast, essentially wrapped into a mystery. You might not need a box of Kleenexes for most, but maybe a few stiff drinks.
This year, I’m suggesting some novels of obsession and troubled marriage perfect for a Valentine’s weekend cuddled up with a new, plush heart-shaped pillow and some raspberry truffles. There is a flash fiction also to read I wrote last year, a tale of revenge and witches, available free at The Horror Tree site called “Sinking Hearts.” I don’t want to re-hash all that again in a post, but feel free to peruse HERE if you like tales of revenge or love gone wrong. Last year I wrote a post all about various ways I’ve explored bad relationships in my writing and gave some ideas for fantastic love day fiction. I think I’ve loved this ever since I watched the film “Single, White Female” when I was a teen. Spoil yourself if you have to!Īs a writer of speculative, horror, thriller, suspense… you name it… I also love digging into the dark side of romance and relationships. So get in the spirit gang, whether you have a lovey dovey for a date or not, make it fun. Plus I just really adore the color red, hearts, flowers, and….CHOCOLATE.
I think of it as a day to tell those I love what they mean to me, whether my significant other, my kids, my friends.
I don’t think of it as a Hallmark holiday at all. Happy Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day! Many people tread on Valentine’s Day but it’s one of my favorite days.
