Description

Romance is undeniably otherworldly. Heart racing, breath quickening, senses ablaze--it's all part of what makes love so frighteningly grand. As Francois de La Rouchefoucauld said four centuries ago, "It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it." And yet, there are those who have seen both. Welcome to Haunted Love.

With settings ranging from southern Florida to South Korea, Haunted Love delivers a rich and varied collection of tales that touch the heart and tingle the spine. The book features lush historical narratives that capture all of the tenderness, heartbreak, and raw emotion of the love affairs along with the chillingly detailed encounters with the ghosts these ill-fated romances left behind.

About the Author

Chris Gonsalves first discovered the power and romance of the spirits of the undead while working as a newspaper reporter on the historic, cobblestone streets of New Bedford, Massachusetts. From the old ghosts of the widows' walks and seamen's memorials of the Whaling City, Chris moved on to the spooky world of magazine publishing where he's served as an executive editor for a number of national consumer and business titles including PC Week, Baseline, Gulfshore Life and Newsmax, covering everything from computers to fine food to fashion. He lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Palm Beach, Florida with his wife and two dogs clearly possessed by old, drooling demons.
