The narrative weaves a haunting exploration of fate and the consequences of choices, where every moment is unique and irreversible. It hints at underlying darkness lurking beneath the surface of ordinary life, urging caution and awareness. Symbolism, such as the crow and the act of not opening doors, suggests deeper themes of entrapment and the finality of decisions. The atmosphere is charged with tension, inviting readers to reflect on the fragility of existence and the weight of their actions.

Exploring a blend of poetry and short stories, this collection showcases the range of themes from the mundane to the absurd. The narratives include the poignant reflections of a weary postman in a drab town and the intriguing dystopian tale "Nightwatchman." Through a mix of dark humor and emotional depth, the author invites readers into a world that is both careworn and unexpectedly comedic, reflecting on the complexities of life in a unique and engaging manner.

The second collection of poetry and short stories from Balliol Classicist Scott Carless. Dark City returns the reader to the beaten pavements of the author's heartworn literary world.
