Bad Valentines

Bad Valentines

Three of the most twisted romantic horror tales you have ever read.

Love is one of those four letter words that people like to throw around – but sometimes love can be one of the meanest and nastiest games in town. Here are three of the strangest love stories you have ever read. Read “Change of Pace” for a taste of a true Spanish fly. Red “Wetside Story” a touching saga of love, squid-things and zombie Nazi death subs. And, if you are REALLY strong of heart read “Potboiler, Told in a Spanish Key” because breaking someone’s heart can sometimes be the very last thing you will ever do.

If Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch had a three-way sex romp in a hot tub, and then a team of scientists came in and filtered out the water and mixed the leftover DNA into a test tube, the resulting genetic experiment would most likely grow up into Steve Vernon.

Bad Valentines 2

Sometimes love can be one of the meanest and nastiest games in town.

Here are six of the strangest love stories you have ever read.

Find love and memories in the bag of a mysterious eighteen wheeler in “Do-Overs and Detours – Somewhere North of Bigfoot.”

Find out just how bitter love can truly taste in “Hard Soup.”

Find out why the sea is so darned salty in “The Woman Who Lost Her Tooth While Laughing At The Sea.”

Other stories include “Forget About Torture,” “Voodoo Chicken Trucker Run-around,” “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Ale,” “Moving Lines,” and the mind-blowing weirdness that is “Olivia Newton John Love Doll.”

This genre needs new blood and Steve Vernon is quite a transfusion.
–Edward Lee, author of FLESH GOTHIC and CITY INFERNAL

Those who have read Vernon’s fiction previously know to expect the unexpected, and to grab onto something firm and weighty as they begin the first few words of one of his stories.

Steve Vernon is a hard writer to pin down. And that’s a good thing.
