glowers

Shoots dark looks

Glowers is the third-person singular form of glower, meaning to stare with sullen anger or displeasure.

The look is dark and brooding rather than fierce—more smoldering resentment than open hostility: She glowers at him across the table, saying nothing.

As a noun, glowers are such looks: His glowers did nothing to improve the mood.
