I think I've been reading too many dark stories. That may be one reason why my writing continually spirals into darkness every time I try to make things lighter.
Now I'm going to tally the amount of noticeably/especially dark stories on my shelf.
...
Here's the verdict:
most anything by Neil Gaiman, the Mistborn trilogy, the Reckless series, The Silmarillion + The Lord of The Rings, the Claymore manga, the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle manga, and the RG Veda manga.
Since I'm at it, I'll take a look at the darkest video games I have. Let's see. Mother 3, Pokemon Explorers of Sky, and...Persona 3/PSP. Oh, and Persona Q.
