Lawren Leo's collection offers nine crooked paths hidden in perpetual shadow. Each is dark, yet alluring. Which will you take? Which story have you lived? Which story will you live next? Modern-day Fifth Avenue becomes the scene of a murder stretching back in time to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. A diva confronts long lost love and stolen gold during her final performance at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. A jet-set crowd gathers for Halloween as witchcraft, love, and celebrities collide on Fire Island. In the manner of Edgar Allen Poe and The Grimm Brothers, these love stories are wonderfully alarming and seductively tragic. A galaxy of engaging stories about the ultimate price of love. Enter the world of Love's Shadow: Nine Crooked Paths.
