Death's Kiss

She was born of death, and it was only through death that she could survive.

Death’s Kiss is a supernatural romance comic that dares to ask: what happens when a being condemned to the shadows encounters someone who sees past the darkness? Penned by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author S.K. Prince, this story of impossible love between a death entity and a mortal man raised $26,604 on Kickstarter from 822 backers who couldn’t resist its blend of gothic romance and mythological depth.

The comic explores the world of reapers and psychopomps, mythological creatures who escort souls to the afterlife. These beings have evolved beyond human lore, bound to shadows and forbidden from forming attachments. But forbidden love has a way of defying the rules of existence.

Brought to life with stunning artwork by Yishan Li, whose manga background infuses every panel with emotional intensity, Death’s Kiss balances sensuality with substance. It’s erotic without being exploitative, romantic without being saccharine, and supernatural without losing its humanity.

The story operates on multiple levels: as a straightforward forbidden romance, as a meditation on what it means to truly see another person, and as a gothic fairy tale for adults. The protagonist has existed for centuries, merely surviving, until one mortal man looks past her spectral form and falls for who she truly is.

Death’s Kiss is available in English and French, with a special edition that includes the original 14,000-word literary version of the story alongside the comic adaptation. The campaign also offered exclusive merchandise and stretch goal rewards including acrylic bookmarks and temporary tattoos.

Perfect for fans of gothic supernatural romance, adult fairy tales, and love stories that transcend the boundaries of life and death.
