I haven't read it yet but in 1 of the RWS books it mentions someone being killed in a war. If you're wondering how I know that, it was brought up on another forum I frequent.

In the original Cinderella the step sisters cut off parts of their feets to try and fit them into the slippers, and then at the end crows show up and peck out their eyes

A lot of fairy tales are horrible when you look at the originals... like really fucked up. I believe in Sleeping Beauty, Prince Charming basically had sex with her while you was under the curse, knocked her up, and he only reason she woke up was because one of the twins she birth sucked on her finger dislodging the flax and waking her. Oh, and don't forget, she was 15... Well, older if you count the time sleeping. Which you shouldn't...

The beginning of The Last Olympian was dark since Beckendorf died.

His dark materials trilogy (golden compass) is my favorite.

Two kids go on a quest to literally kill god. Turns out he's been dead for awhile, but they kill his replacement anyway.

Alice in wonderland is fucked. Basically drug ramblings of a child obsessed creeper. Walrus and the carpenter is really all you need to hear.

Narnia is supposed to be an allegory for Christianity, somehow. Which is... dark I guess lol in that he tried to sell them god subliminally

Yeah, it went dark places for sure.

K.A. Applegate's husband is Michael Grant who wrote the "Gone" series. That's more 'young adult fiction' but it's both really dark and fucking awesome.

Going to have to go with Animorphs in general. That series was fucked up. The Yeerks are nightmare fuel by themselves. The way morphing works leads to all sorts of body horror. Not to mention how traumatic fighting in a war where you can't trust anyone is for the kids.

Animorphs start off dark. Its not exactly constant, there's definitely light hearted moments in there, but don't forget the first book has Elfangor (the alien who gives the kids the morphing tech) get eaten alive by Visser three, and Tobias getting permanently trapped as a hawk.

The Gone series was really dark, too. It just got darker with each book... Why have I read so many dark series? What is wrong with me?

Some of those claims are flat-out made up or it's just a variation of the story because people will re-tell things and change the details.

Maybe...maybe not... but as far as I'm concerned right now, I have no reason to or believe them...
