Dark Fantasy Romance Novellas With Ghosts, Monsters, and Bad Bargains

These dark fantasy romance novellas make attraction part of the danger. A woman bargains with a vampire for a cure, a detective looks for a way to keep the life she built with her lover, and a guest at a lonely estate has to make sense of an unsettling attachment. The entries mark different kinds of endings and tell you when a romance depends on obsession, manipulation, or someone taking control. A few early Gothic stories come from before the modern romance genre and have the much darker resolutions to match.
