Book Review of Beautiful Darkness

Beautiful Darkness
sphinx avatar reviewed on + 97 more book reviews


I'm not a huge fan of horror, but for a horror fan, this could be a great read.

It's well-written, effectively illustrated, and is very dark, disturbing, and eerie. There is no real resolution to the tale. We are left wondering what is really happening, and in this context, that's a perfect way to end.

Definitely not appropriate for children, despite the deceptively cute characters.

A complaint: one of the authors (a woman) was conveniently left off of the cover credits, even though the original idea was hers, and she co-wrote the story. Her name is Marie Pommepuy, as listed in tiny print on the title page. I'm sick of men taking credit for women's ideas.

Good book, quick read, but might give you the creeps!
