When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element: but long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull’d the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death.
Shakespeare - Hamlet

Let's talk dark books today I am predominantly drawn to books or media that explore dark themes or have a psychological twist to them... Here are some of my favourite dark books featuring messed up female protagonist who go to lengths to get what they want ( Misery and Under The Skin) The other two are messed up kids who are left to their own devices (Lord of The Flies & Your House is on Fire) .
Most if not all my books have some creepy or dark element and tend to explore the dark side of humanity I think that's why I'm a huge fan of Stephen King be it fantastical or realist I'm always down for dark books
.
What flavor of dark books are you drawn too... Creepy Castles, Messed up Characters or just the dirty side of humanity I'd love to know

QOTD: what is a book that you are hesitant to read because of reviews?
.
.
AOTD: for me, it is this beautiful book. on the surface, it has everything I like: it’s beautiful, it’s fantasy, it’s dark. however, bookstagram and goodreads have definitely made me hesitant to read it. I will get around to it one day and formulate my own opinion, but so many different yet similar reviews gave me pause. I think I’m only hesitant bc my impression of the book in my head may not match up to what it actually ends up being. But who freakin knows. I’ll keep y’all posted, as always
.

also: i am in NO way trying to discredit this book & those who enjoyed it! If you read it, let me know what you thought below

“When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God's business.”⠀
