Can true love thrive on the Internet? Can virtual love survive reality?

The characters in Terminal Romance are searching for love, searching for each other, searching for physical and virtual encounters. Whether they are cyber stalkers, foot fetishists, love-struck professors, or monogamists with platonic fantasies, Niki Aguirre’s sharp and funny stories explore the twists and turns of online dating.

These meta-vignettes are more than boy meets girl on a blind date. This is the Internet as virtual frontier. An uncharted territory where misfits and romantics collide with cynics and geeks.

Aguirre’s collection exposes the uncertainties and complexities of love and our need to reach out and connect at all costs.
