In his short story collection Dark Legends, George Mann peers into the hidden corners of the Star Wars universe. He pursues popular horror themes his young readers will enjoy. A ghostly presence haunts an orphanage. Sunlight on one planet provokes a strange--and dangerous--transformation. And perhaps the most intriguing of all, an Imperial officer receives a rapid promotion. But at what cost?
His stories range across all eras, from the High Republic to the First Order. Horrific events occur on spaceships and planets from the outer rim to the heart of Palpatine's empire. As promised on the cover, Darth Vader will appear.
I read this on my cellphone, typically one story--or part of a story--at a time. I found the stories undemanding and entertaining. If you're a Star Wars fan and in the mood for a relaxing and mildly scary read, I recommend George Mann's collection Dark Legends.
Be warned: you don't know the power of the Dark Side!
