Well, this books is . . . as you can guess from the title . . . dark. On their own, the stories are well-crafted and atmospheric, with some particular stand-outs from Stephen King, Robert Weinberg, Nancy Collins and Ramsay Campbell. On the whole, it wasn't my cup of tea, if only because after a while you're left bracing for the worst before each story. Still, if you're looking for the ultimate anti-Valentine's Day collection . . . look no further.

A number of different short stories with a common theme of love gone wrong or twisted in some way.
Some of the short stories are very good while others fell flat for me.
