Romance, Horror, Thriller – Novella

Part of the itch.io bundle
A deliciously twisted cannibalism romance that follows a queer couple attempting to survive the oncoming winter in a war-torn American South. When the secrets in the cellar begin to crawl their way to the surface, everything Dakota believed about the world post-catastrophe is brought into question. With their husband’s devotion escalating to new heights and his proclamations of love penned with the blade of an axe, Dakota soon learns that the darkest plague of all may just be humanity’s own hubris.
