The titles DO mean plenty. "Dragons of Darkness", the followup volume to
"Dragons of Light", was chiefly populated by evil dragons (of the Western
variety) and other stories of a "dark" nature. The editor, realizing how
depressing these stories are, alternated them with more cheerful ones to
prevent suicides/unhappiness. This is my interpretation, but read
odd-numbered stories ONLY and you may find yourself staring out the
windows for hours or getting out the old razor blade. The first book,
aside from being more uplifting, had generally better stories and is
highly recommended.
	Another good book for dragons and their fans is "Tea with the
Black Dragon" by R.A. MacAvoy which also has a nonstupid contemporary
computer software subplot.
