A Taste of Ripe Peaches: A Short Story Collection

By Lorena Wayne

Stories of love and death, and the thin, bleeding line between them.

In A Taste of Ripe Peaches, Lorena Wayne presents thirteen romantic horror stories that explore the quiet violence of devotion. Each tale peels back the skin of a relationship to reveal what festers underneath: obsession, envy, manipulation, control. There are no ghosts here, just people. And people, it turns out, are terrifying enough.

From seaside towns to candlelit bedrooms, artists' studios to floral cold rooms, these stories follow lovers whose hearts beat too loudly and hands hold too tightly. Some kill out of tenderness. Others, out of fear. All of them believe, in their own way, that love justifies everything.

Perfect for fans of dark fiction, literary horror, and psychological thrillers, A Taste of Ripe Peaches is a collection for those who like their romance bruised and dripping.
