DarkSider News: May 2025 - Events!

      


From today, quotes will be taken from first pages of our DarkSider's books.


“It was a dark and stormy night.

No, really.

When visitors came to Riverswood, it was always dark and stormy, sometimes snowing. It happened at least once a month, even in the middle of summer. Oliver didn’t know if it was the visitors that brought the weather, or the other way around. Probably a bit of both. It had been going on since he moved here more than a century ago, and he’d learnt to live with it. He didn’t need the weather reports to tell him what was coming, but he still tuned in, out of habit, regarding them with a kind of ghoulish anticipation.” 

Thoroughly Disenchanted by Alexandra Almond
