And this is the forbidden truth, the unspeakable taboo - that evil is not always repellent but frequently attractive; that it has the power to make of us not simply victims, as nature and accident do, but active accomplices.
~Joyce Carol Oates
My humor and tastes have always naturally leaned more toward the morbid, so it is no surprise that I frequently find myself gravitating toward darker subject matter when I'm picking out my next book to read. I wanted to find a place beyond just social media where I could connect with other readers that enjoy escaping into a world of death, destruction, kink, gore, and all things darkly disturbing from a literary standpoint.
