Misery Loves

(about 28,000 words and 120 pages)

Misery Loves is a giallo and noir-inspired pulp novella about the danger of idealizing someone you're in love with to the point you forget they're quite a real person, about the fact that most great romances are at least a little bit toxic, about independent and outsider art, about ghosts and zombies.

Its serialization on my Patreon lasted from August 2024 until March 2025. Each chapter has its own illustration, and I hope my artistic effort somewhat makes up for my lack of artistic skill.

Two major themes in this novella are suicide and sexual abuse.  There are no direct depictions of sexual abuse, but there are direct depictions of suicide.

In general, please be aware that this is a dark story intended for mature audiences.
