So many things come to mind when you think of the word dark. Horror, death, bleak, mire, and topics that most people brush over because they are too dreary to think about. The Beauty in Darkness was an anthology concept that was thought up in collaboration with the late TS Woolard when we had made plans to go in together to run Dark Moon Rising Publications. It was his idea to showcase darkness and allow people to see below the surface to witness the ethereal enchantment humanity shies away from. Within these pages, you will find each writer's and artist's interpretation of what darkness means to them written so eloquently, you can't even see the inky abyss the pieces float in. 57 writers and artists came together to bring you short stories, poetry, art, and photography that have been carefully placed within to open your eyes to The Beauty in Darkness.
