Burning Bridges - Su Lee

This book is a dark, psychologically driven anthology of short horror fiction and accompanying poetry, rooted in urban legend, trauma, identity fracture, and moral reckoning. Each story explores a different manifestation of fear, external, internal, relational, or existential, while the poems function as thematic mirrors, distilling the prose into lyrical reflection.

Across dystopian cityscapes, haunted domestic spaces, mythic rail journeys, and fractured psyches, the collection interrogates:

The illusion of love versus coercive control

The inescapability of guilt and suppressed memory

The thin veil between reality and psychological distortion

The consequences of choice

The impossibility of returning unchanged

Fire, mirrors, trains, and shadows recur as symbolic devices, bridges burn, doors open, reflections rebel, and journeys end at irreversible destinations.
