Why tell dark stories? Why read them or listen to them? Why take such pleasure in tales whose main purpose is to put a shiver down your spine?
I don’t know, but it goes way back. We have been telling each other tales of otherness, of life beyond the grave, of evil villains and ruthless schemes, for a long time; stories that prickle the flesh and make the shadows deeper and, most importantly, remind us that we live, and that there is something special, something unique and remarkable about the state of being alive.
You ride the demon train into the darkness, knowing that eventually the doors will open and you will step out into the daylight once again. It’s always reassuring to know that you’re still here, still safe.
So, if you fancy a ride on that train today, there’s an amazing selection of darker reads here; from romantic suspense to zombie thrillers. Best of all, there’s no need to pay for your adrenaline rush, as they are all FREE!
