Reviews FanficRecs / The Ghost and the Darkness

FanficRecs Dark

A very interesting read but a word of caution. Most of this story that isn't Nightmare Fuel is Tear Jerker worthy. While not on "He Had No Fingers" level, this is still a very dark and sometimes disturbing fic. Between seeing the dead (in the condition the died in, such as dismembered) and being mind raped by Kyuubi since he could understand the concept of thought, Naruto is a complete wreck that's only escaped being institutionalized because Sarutobi knows he'd be infinitely worse if he was.

FanficRecs Dark, sinister, and extremely good

To put bluntly, the characters are insane. Naruto being subjected to Mind Rape by the Kyuubi, which has been upgraded from a dangerous being to a terrifying Eldritch Abomination, and his ability to see the dead have pretty much ruined his childhood and sanity, and Sasuke is clearly mentally disturbed. Some scene will chill you to the bone.

However, the character interactions are extremely good. The co-dependent, almost brother-like relationship between the two characters is perfectly written, and their interactions with the rest of the cast, alive or dead, is executed very well.

To resume, if you aren't looking for a light-hearted story, you will find this one a dark, disturbing jewel.
