The Coffinmaker’s Love

A pseudo-Victorian mannerpunk romance set in an Argentina-that-never-was.

A story about love, and an unconventional courtship.

Published at Beneath Ceaseless Skies on 3 October 2013.

"Miss Lavinia Parrish was a young woman when she chose to apprentice herself to Mr Harid de Borba, a coffinmaker of great skill but odd repute. Though the two were acquainted prior to her request, Miss Parrish had not laid bare her heart to her new master, nor had she otherwise explained her particular reasons for undertaking a trade."
