I don't see any reason why steampunk and urban fantasy HAVE to be creepy or dark. There has to be more room for creativity than that. If it's icky and miserable, with no glimpse of goodness, it's not something I will enjoy reading. Or writing, for that matter.
All my stories tend to be rather dark at times, but the darkness isn't the point; it's only dark until the light bursts in and shatters the darkness with its radiance.
