Nathaniel Darkish liked N.J. Gallegos's review of Dark Art: "This book is perfect for those who love conspiracy theories, creature features, Lovecraftian terrors, and more! Darkish's world building is top notch, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Check this out... you'll be glad you did. "
