In this collection of exquisite, mischievously dark short stories, Jeremy Brock pushes deep into the human psyche and life’s strange twists. We encounter a brother and sister whose lives are upended when they are destined to meet again — but fail to do so; a girl who discovers her young sister talking to a stranger under the kitchen table in the darkest hours; and a gold prospector who chases the twists and turns of rivers, roads and acquaintances, for the dreams and riches of precious stones. Dark Chocolates is the first collection in a forthcoming series from a promising new voice in storytelling.

What's the first thing you think of when the words dark chocolates come up? For me, dark chocolates is my favorite snack. For Jeremy Brock, DARK CHOCOLATES is the title of his short story novel. This isnt a sweet treat ,unless you love the realm of weird. Various short stories with dark and diabolical twist and turns make up these very good and delectable stories.
I received this e book free from goodreads in exchange for a review.
I loved reading these short stories. They didn't give me much horror, but I did laugh and felt a sense of satisfaction from the stories. Jeremy has a great way with words and imagination. Very descriptive writing, I enjoyed the themes. Several memorable. Now passed book on to a friend.
Loved this. I'm a fan of short stories and horror and this was a delicious collection of both. Clever and so engaging that I binged the whole lot in a day. I will be re-reading it regularly.
