DARK Book Con is a romance-centered convention for readers, authors, and creators who believe love stories come in every shade.

Built for the soft hearts, the sharp tongues, the hopeless romantics, the villain lovers, the slow-burn loyalists, the monster kissers, the cozy readers, the spice seekers, and the ones who came for the happily ever after with a little danger at the edges, DARK celebrates the full range of romance.

Across the weekend, guests can explore author signings, panels, craft sessions, reader games, immersive experiences, themed socials, and after-hours events designed to bring the romance community together in a setting that feels unforgettable.

Whether your favorite stories are sweet, sinful, strange, tender, forbidden, funny, gothic, magical, modern, or beautifully unhinged, DARK Book Con was created for the readers who know one truth better than anyone.
