Darkness and Devotion: Tales of Horror, Fantasy, and Romance

(New Edition, December 2019) Darkness and Devotion, Brandon Berntson's latest collection features tales of horror, fantasy, demented twists on romance, along with his one and only science fiction tale, The Sirens of the Sector. With new tales never before published, Darkness and Devotion introduces worlds where men take love to the extreme . . . and the darkness has a life of its own. In Marker of Repose, a man professes his love by building a shrine to the girl of his dreams, but the material in which he uses to erect it will have the reader recoiling in horror! In Mannequin Girl, Daws Newsome becomes obsessed with the most beautiful woman he's ever seen - a girl made of wood, plastic, and metal. Can he pull himself away from her spell, or is it already too late? The city of Gaul harbors some of the worst villains hell has ever seen, but this underground nightmare is not for the faint of heart . . . Because here, even angels fear to tread. Kathy Mender's love for the dead takes her to Rose Hill Cemetery to uncover a dead body. But when her faithful lover, Bobby Farks, gets word, proving his devotion results in a night of unrequited love and horror! Armageddon is on the rise in The Battle of the Elect, and in The Sirens of the Sector, a future dystopian world holds the key for civilization: death. The Smoky Dragon wraps up the collection, a profound emotional fantasy where devotion has its own rewards . . . but only if you're willing to put in the time. Horror, fantasy, science fiction, and tales of demented love, Darkness and Devotion is a versatile, well-rounded collection sure to whet the most speculative minds. If you liked Body of Immorality, treat yourself to Darkness and Devotion.
