DarkSider News: October 2025 - Events!

  





"Saturday, 26th July

It was a perfect day for a wedding. The sky was blue and cloudless as a faint breeze rustled the lavender and rosemary bushes that surrounded the sandstone chapel, while a yew tree shaded the grass, keeping the heat away from the guests as bees lazily drifted past. In short, it was the kind of late July weather that any bride would kill for.

That was if the bridal party didn't kill each other first." 

– The Widows' Guide to Skulduggery (Book 3, The Widows' Detective Club) by Amanda Ashby
