Roses are red, violets are blue, in this book of fear, Valentine's haunts anew. Dare to discover the true lore of Valentine's Day, where love and terror intertwine in the most unexpected ways. With classic myths about tragic love, dark romances that end in murder, and true crimes committed in passion, this spine chilling book of tales will excite and fright.

Beneath the red roses, heart-shaped chocolates, and declarations of love lies a shadowy history of Valentine's Day that few are brave enough to explore. In a journey that spans from ancient Roman festivals to medieval legends, this book uncovers the sinister roots of this holiday—from tales of forbidden love to spectral visitations and mysterious rituals.

Lurking within these eerie pages, you'll uncover:

  • Ancient Origins: Learn how the bloody festivities of Lupercalia evolved into the Valentine's Day we know today, complete with sacrifices, omens, and pagan rites.
  • Dark Legends: Explore the tragic romances that have been immortalized in lore and myth.
  • Heartfelt Horror: Venture into the dark side of love, where passion leads to madness and gruesome deaths.
  • Modern Mysteries: Read about unexplained phenomena, disappearances, and chilling crimes committed in the name of love.
  • The Scary Book of Valentine's Day Lore will forever change the way you view this holiday. Forget about Cupid and candy hearts and fall head over heels into a nightmare this February 14th.
