Dare is the first work by author Melissa Leigh (she/her), a specialist in gothic horror short fiction and poetry. Her disturbing and terrifying works present frightening new takes on traditional horror tropes. A boy in a fight with his shadow, a mermaid longing for legs, and the typical ghost story dramatically transform under her capable hands. Leigh breaks the tension with dark romantic poems of love gone awry, love gone wrong, pining and longing.
