From Darkness is a sharp collection of terrifying short stories from author D R Gordon. I love horror, but a disturbing trend of late in the genre is overloading the tale with gore to mask a lack of substance. Gordon experiences none of this issue; his worlds are beautifully crafted, poignant and eerie.The supernatural is featured heavily in From Darkness, but the author successfully creates enough ambiance that believability isn't sacrificed. From Darkness is highly recommended for anyone who loves the grotesque romance of gothic horror - Lovecraft would be proud.
