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 darkest nights that 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 ourselves. For the darkest darkness can never exist without the brilliance of light.
