Traditionally associated with delicacy and beauty, chocolate takes a dark twist at a new 18+ horror-themed chocolate [shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shop-other-jeffs) in Central London. This "goremet" chocolate shop was created to mark the launch of the fourth installment of the [Diablo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coco-diablo-iv-drinks) series and it reaches just the right target audience with life-sized human skills, femur bones, demon hearts and more.

The name of the shop, the Lilith & Co emporium, pays tribute to the seductress demon in the game and it invites adults into an unforgettable experience of chocolate. This artful shop serves up a fusion of Diablo-inspired art collections and chocolatier work, playfully subverting consumers' usual notions of chocolate by infusing the confectionery world with a spine-chilling allure.

100% of sales benefit gaming charity SpecialEffect, which works with developers to create accessible gaming devices.
