Can you recommend some dark spiderman stories?

In some alternate universes, there are really dark Spiderman stories. For example, in the 'Spider - Man: Reign' story, an older Peter Parker returns to crime - fighting after years of retirement. The world he comes back to is full of corruption and despair. He has to face his own mortality and the consequences of his past actions, which makes for a very dark and gritty take on the Spiderman character.

One interesting dark spiderman fanfiction could be where he has to face a villain that is a twisted version of himself. This villain might have all of Spider - Man's powers but uses them for pure evil. Another could be a story set in a post - apocalyptic world where Spider - Man is the only hero left and has to deal with new threats that are much darker and more dangerous than the ones he usually faces.

Sure. The classic storyline where the Lizard is first introduced is a must - read. It sets the foundation for their relationship and the ongoing conflict. Spiderman has to face this new and powerful enemy for the first time.

The Vulture's story is another good one. An older villain who uses his flying abilities and sharp talons to fight Spider - Man. His motives are often more about survival and greed, which makes his character different from some of the more maniacal villains.

Sure. 'Venom: Separation Anxiety' is a great story. It focuses on the relationship between Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote when they are separated. It's full of drama and shows how much they need each other.

Well, 'Spider - Man: Blue' is quite interesting. It tells a story that is both emotional and action - packed, exploring Peter Parker's relationship with Gwen Stacy in a very engaging way. There are some beautiful illustrations in it as well, which add to the overall charm of the novel.

Another good one is when Doctor Strange has to reverse a spell that accidentally affected Spiderman's powers. It led to a lot of action - packed scenes as Spiderman had to deal with his changing powers and Doctor Strange had to figure out how to fix the spell. They had to race against time before the changes in Spiderman's powers became permanent. This story really explored their relationship and how they relied on each other's skills.

There's also 'When Defenders and Spidey Cross Paths'. It focuses on how Spiderman's carefree style clashes with the more serious Defenders at first, but then they learn to work together. It's a fun read with a lot of humor and some great fight sequences.

Well, 'Carnage and Spiderman: A Twisted Tale' is a fanfic that takes a different approach. It has a lot of psychological elements as it shows how Carnage views Spiderman and vice versa. Another one is 'Spiderman's Quest to Defeat Carnage' which is more of a traditional action - packed adventure. The story has Spiderman using his wits and powers to take on Carnage. 'Carnage's Redemption in Spiderman's World' is also interesting. It explores the idea of Carnage being redeemed, and Spiderman's role in that possible redemption.

A great book for 'dark dark short stories' is 'Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber'. It reimagines classic fairy tales in a much darker and more adult way. For instance, 'The Company of Wolves' takes the Little Red Riding Hood story and turns it into a tale full of sexual tension and danger. Another book is 'Selected Stories' by H. P. Lovecraft. His stories often deal with cosmic horror, like in 'The Call of Cthulhu' where the existence of ancient and powerful beings that are beyond human comprehension is explored. And 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' in its original short story form is also a very dark and gory tale.
