Deep the Gathering Gloom is a Star Wars story by Pat Munson.
It was published in Time Warp #6/7 Volume 1.
Editor's Summary
Pat Munson's "Deep the Gathering Gloom" is part of her Black Jedi universe. This is an alternate timeline universe that was originally spun off of A NEW HOPE. It, along with the Thousand Worlds uni verse, was one of the very first fan-created SWARS universes. Indeed, a 'Black Jedi' story appeared in MOONBEAMS #3, the very first SWARS fanzine. By the way, Pat was also one of the first writers to hypothesize that Darth Vader was really Luke Sky- walker's father. Even before TESB came out, Pat had written a story, "The Fall of Dark," in which Vader and Skywalker Pere were the same person.
Reactions and Reviews
"Deep in the Gathering Gloom" by Patricia Munson Siter lacks most of the story elements needed to keep the reader interested. Perhaps it is be cause this is my first exposure to her Black Jedi series, but since a major character is introduced in this piece, one would expect that more would be done to focus on him. The characters are flat and the action is presented hastily and superficially. You need not have fleshed out characters to have a good story. In absence of that, what you do need is a well-developed idea, a strong concept. There is a fine but unused idea here a guerrilla war waged by the Sandpeople against the human homesteaders who are defended by Imperial mercenaries. That could be a whole novel.[1]
