Remittance Girl’s Review of Bad Romance

Great, new review of the Bad Romance anthology. I may have squeaked when I saw Bleeding Red mentioned. And in a positive light, at that 😉

Some romances break your heart and some dismember and  disembowel you, this anthology deals with the latter, both metaphorically and literally. From Jeanette Grey’s looping car crash in ‘Bleeding Red‘ to the blithe decapitation of Chris Guthrie’s ‘Three Days In Summer‘, the collection is a literate homage to all the ways in which we delight in our own destruction and that of those we love.

I once tried to describe the difference between porn and erotica by explaining that porn carves away all extraneous matter and leaves the sex whereas erotica should reflect an entire life, seen through an erotic lens. ‘Bad Romance’ does exactly that, no matter how explicit or raw or violent. It tells the story of the how and the why, not just the what.

You can still pick up your copy here. (Scroll halfway down the page to see it.)
