Welcome to the dark side. 🖤

Interview HighlightsAna Huang: “I think dark romance is subjective, but to me, it is books that have darker themes and characters. So, this is where you see a lot of anti-heroes and villains positioned as protagonists; where there may be psychological or physical trauma depicted on page, as well as villains. [It’s] more like heavier emotions than in classic contemporary romances at the end of the day.

Huang: “These books tend to dive a little deeper into all sorts of themes that are not necessarily ‘socially acceptable,’ at least in the mainstream. But there are plenty of people that have these fantasies. Because these themes are heavier, people go into these books already in the headspace to engage with that type of content, whereas it can be a little bit more jarring to explore those kinks in a very, like, fluffy light romance. But this is in line with the themes.

Kent: “I have very strong opinions about this because I feel like dark romance, romance in general, is very frowned upon. And for me, it's a form of subconscious misogyny [or] blatant misogyny because it's a genre for women, mostly written by women. And society in general doesn't want women to express what they want, so whatever is not proper or morally correct is frowned upon. Whereas we don't frown upon incest in ‘Game of Thrones’... we don't frown upon horror.
