It’s a time of year that’s famous for romance, but what happens when love dies? Or turns into something evil? It’s a night of wronged lovers, spurned partners, murderous revenge, and more than a handful of ghosts that linger behind – and a special night with your significant other that you simply don’t want to miss!

More About “Love Gone Wrong”

Intense love is a form of madness that can inspire insanity in many different ways. In most cases, neither partner may have exhibited the merest inkling of strange behavior before meeting and becoming entangled with their lover. Or perhaps an underlying mental disorder is unmasked by an intense love affair and spirals completely out of control. This special kind of madness has led to torture, abuse, and yes, even murder – by both men and women. And then there are those couples who simply seem to share their madness between them, resulting in dire and horrific events.

It’s going to be a strange night of love, murder, and insanity – for the most romantic time of the year. Discover the stories like of murderous couples, violent ends, “lonely hearts killers,” and more!
