A group of tugboat passengers grapples with a disturbing loss. A record-holding hiccuper confronts his condition—and a troubling secret. A wife wonders what to do when her husband’s head stops working—but his body stays alive. A man struggles with the memory of the time he saw his friend swallowed whole by a neighborhood girl with supernatural powers.
In this classic set of Midwestern Gothic stories by Darrin Doyle, we see the strange hold hands with the familiar—and seem all the more strange as a result. A set of tall tales (and medium-height ones) told with Nabokovian prose, this stunning and visceral collection by the author of The Beast in Aisle 34 will linger long after the last page.
My Opinion
The Dark Will End The Dark by Darrin Doyle is a horror anthology with a strong satirical tone. The stories are interesting and imaginative, though the language can feel a bit difficult at times. Out of the entire collection, only two stories truly stood out for me and made the book worth reading. Many of the other stories carry hidden meanings and layered symbolism that require deeper interpretation. At times, I found those themes a little too complex to fully grasp, which slightly affected my overall reading experience.
