Let’s see: Jasper’s past, the killings in Seattle, and then the final battle?

Completely dark. I mean, maybe Stephenie makes it seem like the characters are detached from it (though to me Bella seems frightened). But if there was a murder rampage just miles away from where you lived I think there would be a fair amount of worry.

Eclipse is the darkest of the four, maybe tied with Breaking Dawn. And I’m not talking gory. We’re talking dark as in the themes.
