"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. Dave Fiedler {harpo,astrovax,philabs}!infopro!dave
