One is inevitable, while the other often feels so. At the Intersection of Love and Death transports you to distant worlds, haunted places, and lands which never were. The twenty-six stories in this collection span the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror exploring love, death, and the places where these two powerful human experiences meet.

"The stories in At the Intersection of Love and Death are loaded with heart with some chills mixed in for good measure. This collection is one to savor." - Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger

"Michael Haynes tells the stories of people who are as real as your neighbors, imperfect people, aware of their mortality, who wrestle with impossible situations and try to find the human way forward. These are the stories that Harry Chapin might have written, if he'd been a speculative fiction author, and they will stay with you long after you are done reading." - José Pablo Iriarte, Hugo- and Nebula-nominated author

"This collection of elegiac, beautifully-written stories will pull you in and then continue to haunt you. Haynes' impressive debut touches on all the subgenres of speculative fiction while maintaining the same atmospheric and lyrical tone throughout." - Leah Cypess, author of Thornwood and Glass Slippers
