The Dark Minds series consists of seven individually published horror stories and novellas released between 2015 and 2019. Titles like Slaughter Beach, What They Find in the Woods, and Kids hint at the disturbing territory these stories cover. Each entry is self-contained and explores a different type of psychological or supernatural horror.
Simon Bestwick contributed to this series alongside other horror authors. The format allowed writers to take risks with shorter, more intense stories that might not support a full novel. A Love Like Blood (2019) rounds out the collection as the most recent entry.
