In “The Burning Heart,” an Irish teen watches his brother’s downward spiral into lovesick grief and the occult.

STORY EXCERPT:

     We shared a room, my brother and I. Although we were breaking into manhood, we were still only boys really, under our father’s roof. In the summer, we preferred to sleep with the window open for air but that would also let in the insects. I thought it was a wasp that woke me, buzzing and biting. I swatted at my face but it wasn’t the noise of a stinger that had caused me to wake. Sean was kneeling down by his bed, droning low and constant. It was still deep in the night. There was a black candle before him, jammed into a split stone, the flame long and dancing, smoke curling toward the window. He was repeating a sentence to himself. I made out the words fire and love . . .

The Burning Heart by COLIN LEONARD
