I Feel Love
Edited by Krent Able & Julian Hanshaw
Paperback with flaps, 152 pp, $22.99
Stories by Krent Able, Anya Davidson, Julian Hanshaw, Benjamin Marra, Cat Sims and Kelsey Wroten.
Love makes the world go round. It can also turn your heart as black as coal. In a series of short fictions, Krent Able, Anya Davidson, Julian Hanshaw, Benjamin Marra, Cat Sims and Kelsey Wroten explore love’s dark, twisted underbelly, and offer a much-needed antidote to everything that is sweet, cloying and conventional.
Through wife-swapping, slash fiction, medieval aliens, childbirth, swamp monsters and a mysterious black balloon, I Feel Love questions the one emotion that is meant to make us feel good — but that often does the exact opposite. As unflinching as it is honest, this is the kind of book you don’t take home to meet your parents.

"I Feel Love is brimming with alt comics talent eager to subvert genre standards."

"I Feel Love is by turns hilarious, disquieting, sexy, icky and all sorts of messed‑up, in the best way."
