Trembling With Fear – Valentine’s 2025 Edition!

Welcome to Trembling With Fear’s Valentine Special! Are you feeling the luurve? In some of these stories you might wish you never had. As you get ready for a romantic evening out, putting the final touches to your lipstick or adjusting the collar of your shirt, remember to spare a thought for all those who don’t have a date on Valentine’s Day, and what they might just do to get one.

In this Valentine’s Special we look at the darker side of romance and lust, and what these emotions can lead to: in these stories it’s revenge, creation, technology and horticulture, but with a darker twist of course. Whether your mission is to bury, not bed, or discover your perfect partner is an AI bot, we have something for you. Follow our would-be valentines as they sew body parts together to create loved ones, fight off possessed hairbrushes, or savour oranges grown from a tree fed with a very ‘special’ fertilizer. These stories are certain to bring a flutter of dread–sorry warmth, to your hammering heart. So open that box of chocolates–you never know what you’re going to get–fill up your glass (just make sure it’s not poisoned) and slip into something more comfortable to fully appreciate these love stories, specially crafted to fill your heart with terror.

Happy Valentine xxx

Love is in the air, and we’re all about celebrating things getting a little… mushy. This year’s Valentine’s edition is really a return to form that shares all kinds of horror that really hits you like a stake to the heart (sorry, my vampiric friends!). As the twilight shadows stretch and the full moon blushes red, we invite you to a rendezvous with the macabre, where every heartbeat is a drumroll for the next chilling sentence.

In this collection, love isn’t just blind—it’s bound, gagged, and haunting the corridors of the brokenhearted. Prepare for tales where passion bleeds into obsession, and affection veers into the abyss of madness. These stories will entwine you in the arms of the forbidden, kiss your neck with a breath of the eternal, and leave love bites that linger beyond the grave.

So, light the candles and let the scent of roses fill the air, but beware the thorns among the petals and the shadows that move when you’re not looking. For in these pages, the only thing more terrifying than a broken heart is one that refuses to die.

Welcome to a Valentine’s celebration like no other, where we hope that you’ll fall in love with some new stories… or die trying.
