r/PitchBlackDarkRomance

Okay, dark romance people, I need your expertise.

I’m taking my wife away for a spicy little weekend getaway, and I want the soundtrack to be immaculate. Think dark, seductive, dangerous, obsessive, slow-burn, “we probably shouldn’t be doing this” energy.

I’m looking for songs that would fit perfectly in a dark romance novel the kind of music that makes you feel like the tension is absolutely unbearable

I already have run run run by Dutch Melrose and Little Mouse by Elias Void.

Pitchblack novels are sick. I feel the need to speak to a therapist or psychologist because in as much as I freak out over these situations, I cannot put the book down. I am reading 24690 by A.A. Dark right now and I am traumatized but also i can't put it down. I took a 4 year hiatus off reading and I just got back into it. I usually kept it cute with dark romance with the darkest series I'd read at the time being The Life of Anna.

In big 2026, a new can of worms has opened thanks to reddit. I can read anything so long as it has a good plot, prose, grammar, and an adequate length. No fanfiction.

Point is I am scared of who I might become as I go down further into the rabbit hole of pitch black novels. Like I can see these things in my head. At first, I was truly terrified and im not ashamed of skipping the parts that I know I can't handle. Nonetheless, tis very dark and I'm kinda used to it now. That scares me.

Just got to the part where she gets her lick back against the husband. Why am I so happy? Why is this my favorite part of the book? I'm legit giggling and can't keep the smile off my face. Hence the question, is this sick? Is getting some sort of satisfaction out of this a sign of mental illness? I have to finish the novel but should I be reading more of this? I love a good revenge arc and when it's done in a way that equates or even surpasses the tortures a victim has been through, i am even happier. It's better than my birthday ( the best day of the year for me). But I digress, girlies please educate this hon?
