【The Dark Bookshop】Top Picks: Levelheaded Leads and Wild Ideas

Books: 32
Follows: 372
Updated: 3mo ago

I mainly recommend books with fresh premises, well-developed characters, smart protagonists and supporting characters, or gripping plots. Dark, unlimited-flow, horror, and fantasy: books with these elements get priority. Updated every Monday (I hope. I'll do my best). The least-liked books will be removed. If a book gets so many negative reviews that they reach half its likes, I'll take it off the list.

In this list
