An Epitaph From Darana & Orpheus

An Epitaph From Darana & Orpheus by Jens Mathias is a dark academia gothic romance novelette with a haunting, grief-soaked atmosphere.

For thirteen nights, Orpheus walks Brooklyn’s historic Green-Wood Cemetery toward a solitary crypt, determined to break through the boundary between life and death. What begins as ritual becomes obsession as love, logic, memory, defiance, and madness collide in his attempt to reach what lies beyond the grave.

Moody, romantic, and steeped in gothic decay, this is a story about devotion pushed past reason and the devastating truths that can surface when grief refuses to stay buried.
