Read the passage:
"The feud might, perhaps, have died down or been compromised if the personal ill-will of the two men had not stood in the way; as boys, they had thirsted for one another's blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other, and this wind-scourged winter night Ulrich had banded together his foresters to watch the dark forest, not in quest of four-footed quarry, but to keep a look-out for the prowling thieves whom he suspected of being afoot from across the land boundary."
If a writer wanted to replace the word "dark" with one that created a greater sense of dread, what word might the writer use?
Ashadowy
Bdim
