The Power of Darkness

AI Rating: 1/10 - "The Power of Darkness" (1903 short story by E. Nesbit, republished 2006) is a supernatural horror tale about a man who gains malevolent control over shadows, leading to corruption and doom. It focuses on classic Gothic themes of temptation, power's peril, and the uncanny, with no progressive political messaging, social justice, identity politics, or diversity/inclusion priorities. Nesbit's Edwardian-era work reflects subtle class observations typical of her socialist leanings but prioritizes atmospheric storytelling over any ideological agenda. Zero "woke" elements.
