The Letters Between Sex and Violence by Coda Languez is the opening volume of an anthology series — a sinful collection where Wrath writes love letters to Lust.
About the Book
A collection of bleak surrealistic tales devoted to the most toxic of romances. A jester services his evil queen. An infamous outlaw murders a mayor to rescue her henchman. A wolf butchers his family for his huntress. A serial killer gifts a flesh-and-blood heart. Each story refracts a different shade of dark love through a different setting and genre.
What to Expect
If you’re a fan of weird-fiction dark romance — Carmen Maria Machado, Francesca Lia Block territory by way of horror — Letters Between Sex and Violence is for you. Coda Languez dances between the romantic and the horrific without picking a side, and lets each tale earn its damage.
