A brilliant collection of seven original stories inspired by different concepts of love, by seven award-winning authors.
Love is not a singular concept.
In this collection, seven award-winning authors explore seven concepts of love: from philautia (self-love) to agape (love for humanity) and from storge (a natural affection for family) to mania (a frenzied, obsessive love):
La Douleur Exquise (the pain of unrequited love)
'Before It Disappears' by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan (c) 2016
Pragma (enduring love)
'One More Thing Coming Undone' by D. W. Wilson (c) 2016
Philautia (love for oneself)
'White Wine' by Nikesh Shukla (c) 2016
Mania (obsessive love)
'Magdala, Who Slips Sometimes' by Donal Ryan (c) 2016
Storge (familial love)

Eros (erotic love)
'The Love Story' by Grace McCleen (c) 2016

The publication of How Much the Heart Can Hold is heralded by a Sceptre short story competition. The winning story, based on a concept of love, will be published in the paperback edition.
