Synopsis: When Cupid and the Grim Reaper swap roles, and in turn the tools of their respective trades of Love and Death, the results are sometimes catastrophic and often unexpected. With the Reaper in the business of all that is amorous, one woman's wish for love at first sight is granted, but is a wish granted always a dream come true? Mischievous Cupid, now wielding a heavy scythe in place of his dainty bow and arrow, becomes power crazy, he's a demi-god gone semi-mad. Not all is fair in love and war. Not is fair when love turns to war, and that it can quickly do when vengeful scythe replaces well-intentioned arrow, when the words of the Book of Love are rewritten in blood in a grimoire, and the Book of the Dead has died. Things are all turning about, things are changing. There's a shadow coming. Cupid's Scythe and Other Fables is a single author anthology comprising three novellas, eight short stories and seven poems from the pen of ink witch villainess authoress Venus De Mileage.
