Content note: suicidal ideation, suicide planning and other extremely dark themes. Please do not read if this is likely to distress you. Check out some of the past Halloween erotica instead – in the past I’ve done a vampire, a werewolf, a succubus, a siren, a reanimated corpse and even the monster that lives under your bed. This time, I thought I’d have a go at writing a ghost story. As I say, there are very dark suicidal themes here, so please don’t read on if you’re not in the headspace for that. Any sexy stuff that happens is fully consensual, though it might be the only part that is.

I’m not dead: that’s the first thing you need to know. Don’t expect a twist ending where you shudder over my demise. That’s not to say I won’t come close: I have welcomed death. In fact, I fell so deeply in love with death that I almost embraced it forever. The second thing you need to know is that in the end, love will save me.
