I've been dipping in and out of dark fantasy recommendations with varying degrees of success. The books in the title are really the only things that have quite scratched my itch – along with Blood Meridian if I'm being honest.
I've given Abercrombie (The Blade Itself), Martin (GoT) and Fletcher (Beyond Redemption) a go, but they all feel bit light and I've started a handful of others that feel a tad like they veer into YA. I think I'm looking for something medieval or religious, something horror adjacent and something pitch black in tone.
Worth mentioning: I've started Catling's The Vorrh but got a bit sick of the petulant cyclopes and enjoyed Beuhlman's The Blacktongue Thief although it's a tad jaunty for what I'm looking for.
