Are you afraid of your own Darkness? Whether it comes in the form of a malevolent spirit, or a terrifying beast, these shadows reveal the darkness within us, reflections of our own fears, anger, or shame. This anthology explores the darkness that these creators choose to battle - the black fog, that envelopes and cripples, the dark room without a key, and the hole that gets deeper and deeper with no way out. But despite all these horrifying scenarios, the darkness has a very important purpose - it's only in the darkness nights do we find the light within - the wisdom of a solution to a problem, the strength to face and conquer real-life monsters, and the courage to slay our inner demons to reveal a better version of our selves. For the darkest darkness can never exist without the brilliance of light.
