Book Shop

Amidst all the temper, a book shop is quiet place. A place little-changed in 50 years. Fiction, Non-Fiction. Academic reference. History. Philosophy.

People move about with care, and then stop still in front of an eight-or twelve-foot bookcase. The books are not piled sideways that we may read their titles easily. They stand upright, and it is we who tilt our heads to know the name and that of the author.

Time passes differently.

But this is new - they have a section called Dark Romance.

You may be curious. You may wonder what kind of books are considered dark and romantic, and why they have their own section.

You don't want to know.
