À propos de ce contenu audio

 A romance editor looks for love where you’d least expect it—and discovers what our favorite horror films can tell us about sex, society, and ourselves

“A bloody love letter to those horrors that have drenched the silver screen. The Happily Ever After here . . . is a comprehensive list of grisly films that pluck on our heartstrings . . . only to rip the whole organ out and hold it up to the movie projector’s light.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside

If Sinners and the 1999 cult classic The Mummy taught Emma Cole anything in the year she spent bingeing scary movies, it’s that we love to swoon, sweat, and scream. We seem to crave the uncanny and the transgressive. Emma would know: Her day job as a Harlequin book editor revolves around steamy stories that ruffle feathers and rip bodices. In Love Never Dies, she shows how our favorite horror films flirt with familiar tropes and themes to give us romantic subplots that are just as spine-tingling.

Emma takes readers behind the scenes of films like Tod Browning’s Dracula and Josh Ruben’s Heart Eyes, exploring how and why movies blur the lines of horror and romance. The books dives into

  • The “Dark Moment” and how it signals an HEA (Happily Ever After)
  • Why not having a lover (spoiler alert) saved Jamie Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode in Halloween
  • Rosemary’s Baby, Interview with the Vampire, and Gothic horror’s comeback
  • How romance, especially monster romance, is often a stand-in for uncomfortable truths

From vampires and monsters to slashers and psychological thrillers, Love Never Dies explores the enthralling nature of horror romance films that are full of heart. It’s just that sometimes, those hearts are on the outside. Divertissement et arts du spectacle Drames et pièces de théâtre Films et télévision

“Emma Cole has assembled a macabre catalogue of films for your next date night. Love Never Dies is a bloody love letter to those horrors that have drenched the silver screen over the decades. The Happily Ever After here for dear readers is a comprehensive list of grisly films that pluck on our heartstrings . . . only to rip the whole organ out and hold it up to the movie projector’s light.”
—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside

“The most fascinating lunch date an avid horror fan could want. Pull up a stool beside Emma Cole. Raise a glass to the genre films we love. Then drink deep as Cole expounds on why love can be such a horror. Nostalgic, insightful, and thought-provoking.”
—Jamie Flanagan, screenwriter of The Haunting of Bly Manor

“A page-turning, century-spanning delight. Love Never Dies explores horror’s many cinematic loves and losses, eyeing canon classics and forgotten gems with equal affection. Horror and romance are the carnal genres, and Cole shows them gripping each other by heart and claw.”
—Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Queen of Teeth and A Game in Yellow

“I love the way Emma looks at horror through the lens of love. It’s fresh, intelligent, and makes us think twice about the stories we’re drawn to.”
—Yigit Turhan, author of Their Monstrous Hearts
