True Love Can Always Last Forever in Your Heart, Just Not Always in Your Head
She loved him from the first day she first saw him on the beach and told her mother that she was going to marry him. Her mother, taken in by the love her daughter displayed for the boy and as with tradition, took him in as family and for the next 10 years or so planned the marriage to come. It wasn’t until the wedding night the couple knew the chilling meaning of their vows.

Boo Rhodes’s short story Matrimonial Instincts is like experiencing a David Cronenberg movie in one sitting. Disturbing, observant, wicked, and very fast-paced, this was a darkly entertaining story. Poe once observed that when a story can be read in one sitting the spell cannot be broken on the reader with interruptions. This is the advantage good short stories have over novels and this is a good example of this effect. As a huge fan of H. R. Giger and David Cronenberg–I loved the body horror imagery Rhodes uses. So the story is like a Cronenberg film in themes but even more like a very entertaining horror tale with a great twist. And the ending will haunt you long after you’ve read it!
