Synopsis

In "Dark Tales," Nathaniel Hawthorne delves into the shadowy realms of human nature, exploring themes of guilt, sin, and moral ambiguity. This collection of stories showcases Hawthorne's distinctive prose style, characterized by rich symbolism, intricate characterizations, and a haunting atmospherics that pull the reader into the psychological depths of his characters. Drawing upon his Puritan New England heritage, these tales reflect the complex interplay between the individual's conscience and societal expectations, further enriching the literary context of the early 19th century American Gothic tradition. Hawthorne's background as a descendant of 17th-century Puritans profoundly influences his writing, as he grapples with the weight of moral imperatives and the burdens of inherited guilt. His experiences growing up in Salem, Massachusetts, and his fascination with the region's dark history inform much of his work, allowing him to craft narratives that explore the fears and anxieties that define the human condition. This blend of personal history and literary ambition challenges readers to confront their own moral landscapes. Highly recommended for readers interested in American literature, "Dark Tales" invites exploration into the darker aspects of the soul, offering insight into the complexities of morality and the human psyche. Hawthorne's masterful storytelling and evocative themes ensure that these tales resonate with contemporary audiences, making this collection an essential read for anyone captivated by the intricacies of human experience.

    What if someone you've known your entire life one morning woke up with a completely different personality? 
    Nothing seems to be going right for small town high schooler Taylor Hartley. He's bullied, unhappy, aimless, and fears what the future holds. More challenges arise when constant dizzy spells and unsettling dreams, possibly visions, are added to the mix. His family and a caring teacher are doing their best to help when surprisingly their prayers are answered. Overnight Taylor has new confidence and drive. His younger sister is ecstatic but tries not to dwell on a few oddities like why her brother doesn't seem to know anyone's name, or why he's forgotten his class schedule. 
    Taylor’s father is relieved his son is sticking up for himself. However, he gradually becomes unsettled especially after it seems the young man is taking charge. In the meantime, he’s offering promising financial advice. 
    Unexpectedly Taylor ends up on the local police sergeant’s radar. Several students linked to harassing and bullying the teen are themselves the victims of brutal beatings. But no one’s talking. 
    It doesn't take long for some to start wondering if these changes are for the best.
