Dark fantasy is an amalgam of supernatural fears and the grotesque, it gives its audience a taste for the mystical and macabre with occasional touches of horror. Think Berserk, the dramatic world of which awash in hues as somber as one would see the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Or Dark Souls, a video game that is famous not only for its fights, but also its melancholic plot line. It's not a hit for everyone, of course, yet I find the fascination with the characters that survive in this haunted world. Their fight against ghastly enemies adds an additional depth, making us wonder about our own human values.
