Some examples of this genre:
* The Monstrumologist series
* The Last Apprentice series
* Basically every Jules Verne book
* (I’m sorry, but) Rick and Morty
* Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
The darker the better! I like the whole “The student slowly loses his humanity as the master regains his” type beat

This is a middle school series, but the first Skullduggery Pleasant book. The subsequent books were a disappointment.
