The collection included LOVE WILL TEAR US APART, a 30-page comic strip by the same creative team, DRINKING BLEACH INSTEAD, a short story written by P M Buchan and first published in The Bleed issue one, December 2011, with new illustrations by John J Pearson for the 2014 collected edition.

“When there’s no more room in Hell and the dead walk the earth, nobody will have more to lose than parents. My outlook on life changed when I became a father. LOVE WILL TEAR US APART examines the ways our motivations evolve to accommodate the needs of our families. Brutally honest, and sometimes just brutal, LOVE WILL TEAR US APART is for horror readers that value emotional integrity over cheap scares.” – P M Buchan, 2014
