Recreating the intimate thrill of traditional ghost storytelling, Love and Other Terrors is a deliciously dark collection of six spine-tingling tales, blending slow-burn ghostly prose and propulsive gothic verse, all brought to life by a superb cast.

In the crumbling remnants of a once-grand library, chief librarian Charles Armitage opens a collection of disquieting tales brought to life by a superb cast. Among these stories, a motor journalist takes his eye off the road, an antique dealer is drawn to a fire-ravaged château, and a music-hall magician pursues a dangerous trick, as each protagonist finds themselves dragged into an escalating nightmare. Armitage returns between the stories to introduce each new tale, as his own dark secrets gradually emerge.
From loss and unrequited longing to obsession and the consequences of leaving feelings unspoken, each tale reveals a different terror of the human heart.
