The Silmarilion (or whatever it's spelled) is not dark at all, but it's nothing but exposition.

And it reveals some rather...dumb-in-a-way things. Such as the elves coming from space. No, not the "meteor striked the earth and a cell evolved and became the elves through divergent evolution", nope. The elves's ancestors were actual aliens with ships and all.
