The Darkness, by Justine Avery, earns the Literary Classics Seal of Approval


What if being afraid of the dark was founded in a very real sense of self-preservation?  Brothers Lux and Lunem live in a world where the shadows of darkness hold the power to snuff the very life from a living being.  The boys have been taught, from a very young age, to fear the darkness with every fiber of their being.

Justine Avery's The Darkness is a spine-tingling short story that is pure magic and mysticism. The quality of writing, development of characters and imagery are all spot on.  This short story packs a powerful punch as readers are drawn in and then thrilled with its rousingly good finale.
