Dark Legends, published in 2020, is a collection of short stories set in the Star Wars universe written by George Mann. It is what you would get if you combined Star Wars with ghost stories told around a campfire. All the stories are about 20-30 pages long, give or take, and basically deal with the Sith in some way, shape, or form. One of the stories involves force-sensitive kids being kidnapped from an orphanage by an Inquisitor-like character, a story about what it is like to be a grunt on Vader's Star Destroyer, and a moon near a star with a damaged Kyber Crystal (like those that power sith lightsabers) at it core, whose solar flares send out dark side energy that makes anyone on the moon go crazy.
The hardcover version of the book is short, at just over 200 pages. It is a quick read, and while it is a "kids book", it is written well enough that an adult can enjoy it. The stories are all ancillary to the main, canon, adult novels that are more heavily tied to the main storyline or characters in the main storyline. It is the kind of book that most people would get only because they collect most (or all) of the Star Wars novels. It's one that most people are likely to read once instead of going back to multiple times. Ultimately, it is a nice collection of stories, but it is not one of the Star Wars books I would put on my must-read list.
