Description
From the author of critically-acclaimed collection of short stories, Insanity By Increments, comes a new collection of scintillating new literary short fiction entitled, Redefining Darkness. Author Alaric Cabiling will forever change your perception of dark fiction, adding a heavy dose of literary aesthetics that will shock and scar readers for years to come. This is dark fiction redefined. This is Redefining Darkness.
While not quite a radical departure from his debut, Alaric Cabiling's Redefining Darkness is a break from the mold of his debut collection, Insanity By Increments. Redefining Darkness presents more contemporary settings with language and style far more persuasive and exciting than any work of fiction Cabiling has ever done. Plots are now central to the stories. The characters find themselves embroiled in complex situations, invoking more convincing dialogue, bleaker terrain. Witness the dark landscape of the world you once knew, redefined.
A scandal besets a parish community. A forensic pathologist desperately aims to dissect a troubled past. An incorrigible womanizer confronts his own staggering self-image. A successful businessman thwarts the plans of a scheming half-brother. Nevermore has the chess match short story been as adequately represented than in these stories and more.

This is a really interesting collection of short stories written by an author with a pretty unique voice. He manages to capture the darker aspects of human nature without resorting to gratuitous details for shock value. His open-ended endings will leave you thinking about the stories long after you've finished reading.
