What The Dark Keeps Volume 2

By Elara Graves

Some things refuse to stay dead. Some loves refuse to stay buried. And some keepers of old, dark promises will hold them until the very last breath - yours or theirs.

What the Dark Keeps is a collection of ten gothic literary stories about the strange contracts we make with the dead, the dying, and the almost-lost. A sculptor who carves bones into something holy - and pays for it with his own. An anatomist who cannot stop loving the woman on his table. A bookseller who inherits a diary that is writing itself empty. A bridge that remembers everything you have tried to forget.

These are not horror stories. They are something quieter and more dangerous: love stories set at the edge of what the living can bear.

For readers of Carmen Maria Machado, Paul Tremblay, and Kelly Link.
