Not every story is meant to be comforting.
Some stories explore the parts of human nature that people don’t always like to talk about — obsession, jealousy, power, fear, and the complicated emotions that exist between love and control.

For some readers, those stories feel more honest than the ones where everything is clean, simple, and predictable.
Because sometimes the truth about human nature lives in the shadows, not the light.
