@Dancing Wolf....."I was blaming the darkness of my writing on them".
could be it's the other way around....in that you are attracted to them because of the "darkness" in you. Not in the sense that you are dark...but in the sense that darkness interests you.
As a young man, I bought an art book from a store going out of business....it's title: "Devil's, Monsters and Nightmares"....I still have it 50 years later.
When I traveled Europe for two years.....I went to look at some of the originals (in museums, cathedrals, churches, galleries and so on)......most of the art was religious in nature (think Heironymous Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder) but not all. There was Goya, Durer, Michelangelo, Balinese, Japanese, Chinese, African artists and on and on, from every culture on earth).
My point is that it is a big and interesting subject.....I am not dark...but human darkness interests me. I hope your not worried about it.
I found your thoughts about death and family, thought provoking and familiar......
