I said I'll write a proper review for you, and I finally did. There you are:
The Theater of Dusk by Lizbeth Gabriel
Let me begin by saying The Theater of Dusk is not easy or
light reading. Though humour isn’t completely absent, the writer deals with
subjects which make most people uncomfortable. Pain, blood, suicide, abusive
relationships, rape, deceit, greed, BDSM, power games, betrayal and death are
dishes on the menu. Killers, vampires, demons and humans paint a fragmented
canvas of red, black and grey. Obsession walks hand in hand with
self-destruction; there are no easy answers and often no way out. But should
you make it to the final curtain, Love will appear to guide you into the light.
Is this book for you? I guess the real question is, can
you embrace the dark and still find your way back home? If you want to kill a
few hours, this isn’t what you’re looking for. If, on the other hand, darkness
is a friend, then this little book will be a safe place. For those rare and
genuinely dark souls out there, for the empaths, the open-minded and the
eccentric, for all those who have fire-walked in their personal hells, The
Theater of Dusk will be a rewarding experience.
Please note that due to its subject matter, this
collection is recommended for mature readers. If you like the fact that 'here be dragons', you can find it here:

I have read that one and I am re-reading it. Honestly, those you mention as a target audience for this book, will feel like home when they read those stories.
