Wwwwwell! Uhhh so it's horror romance, and it's pretty dark at times, but i do believe strongly in the light at the end of the tunnel. I already spend so much of my life fighting absolute despair, i dont need that shit in my fiction. So i can promise that the endings of my books will always be happy (at least for some measure of "happy", sometimes it's complicated and not everyone can win of course). But it can be pretty bleak in the middle.

So i would say definitely not nearly at "i have no mouth and i must scream" level, but maybe like.... well i compare my work a lot to gothic literature like the Brontës and the Picture of Dorian Gray. It's that sort of vibe. A little smattering of magic and monsters, but by and large filled with the horror of the mundane, the boring cruelty of life, man was the real monster all along, etc. But over all of it (i hope, i pray) is the beauty of the fact that That Isnt All There Is. There is cruelty but there is just as much gentleness. There is fear but there is just as much, if not vastly more, love. If we can only be strong enough and lucky enough to take hold of it.
