Why Dark Fiction?

In general, people who enjoy dark-themed books are deemed less than in society, weirdos/crazy, etc., especially if you read `Dark Romance, ' which is demonised all over Booktok / Bookstagram. Midnight Book Club is all about unapologetically exploring the darkness that we enjoy. With this book club, I will empower you all so you can push your boundaries without judgement and know you have a community you can have the all-important debrief book discussions with.
If you are anything like me and have a traumatic past, you probably enjoy reading Dark Fiction because you feel seen and can take control of situations you weren't able to in real life, even if it's just by closing the book or turning the audiobook off. Personally, reading Dark Fiction has helped me more to improve and not overcome my past because I honestly don’t think that will ever happen, but learn to live with and cope with it far better.
Although I read many books across all genres, by far my favourites are those with dark themes, so I thought that if I'm going to start a book club, it should focus on books I am passionate about.
Happy Reading,
Kaleigh
