This really resonates with me. I'm having trouble reading dark things too, and I think that's okay. Life is stressful and scary to me right now, and I want to be happy. I enjoy dark and grim and angst, but I don't think it's any artistically better than kindness and friendship and hope. I want to live in a reading world rich in both so that I can choose what I want to read that's going to work for me at any given time.
