What are some examples of dark love stories?

One example is 'Twilight' which has some dark elements in its love story. The relationship between Bella and Edward involves the danger of Edward being a vampire and the threats from other vampires. Another is 'The Fault in Our Stars' where the two teenagers are facing life - threatening diseases while falling in love, which gives a touch of darkness. And 'Carrie' also has a dark love aspect as Carrie is an outcast and her experience with love is intertwined with her telekinetic powers and the cruelty she faces at school.

One example could be 'A Discovery of Witches'. It combines elements of dark fantasy with a complex love story. The main characters, a witch and a vampire, are from different supernatural worlds, and their love is forbidden. Their relationship has to navigate through the politics and power struggles within their respective communities, making it a mature and intense love story set in a dark fantasy realm.

One example could be a story about a haunted house where a family moves in and strange, terrifying things start to happen at night. They hear unexplained noises, see shadowy figures, and slowly start to lose their sanity.

In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Frollo's obsessive and cruel nature towards Esmeralda is quite dark. He represents religious extremism and lust, which are dark themes. His actions of trying to hunt down Esmeralda because of his 'forbidden' desires are part of the story's darkness.

One example could be a story where a furry character is ostracized from their community because they have a strange marking that is seen as a bad omen. This leads to their journey of self - discovery in a cruel world.

In the Grimm's Fairy Tales, there are many such stories. For instance, 'Hansel and Gretel' where the two children are abandoned in the forest by their parents because of poverty. They then face the danger of the witch who wants to eat them. This shows the dark side of a childhood filled with abandonment and the threat of death.

A super dark story might involve a family that moves into a new house. Little by little, they notice that things keep disappearing. One day, the youngest child starts talking to an 'imaginary friend'. But it turns out this friend is a malevolent spirit that was once a victim of a murder in the house long ago. The spirit begins to torment the family, driving them to the brink of madness.

Some dark nursery stories include 'Rumpelstiltskin'. The little man is very menacing and will take the queen's child if she can't guess his name. 'Beauty and the Beast' in its original form has darker aspects, like the Beast being more of a terrifying figure at first. And 'The Girl Without Hands' which tells the story of a girl who has her hands cut off by her father because of a deal with the devil.

A 'dark disabled story' could be about a disabled child who is bullied at school. The other kids make fun of their disability, and the teachers turn a blind eye. This creates a very dark and difficult environment for the child to grow up in. It not only affects their mental health but also their self - esteem and future prospects. The story could explore how the child tries to overcome this situation or how it ultimately breaks them.

One dark true story is the case of the Zodiac Killer. He terrorized California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He sent taunting letters to the police and media, and his crimes included several murders that remain unsolved to this day. It's a disturbing chapter in American criminal history.
