In the dark romance book genre, it's common to see a lengthy list of trigger warnings before starting the first chapter, but are these warnings helpful? Are some things too dark to write about? The Mindf*ck series by S.T. Abby is a popular self-published, dark romantic thriller, with the first three books in the offering the unusual warning, “I know this shit is fucked up, so don’t bother writing to tell me I’m twisted in the head ;)” The series acts as this episode's launch pad into a great discussion on dark romance and the place that certain themes have in literature.
