I’ve never been a fantasy reader, could never really get into the whole knights/dragons stuff but I’m learning now that there is much more to the genre. I read Harry Potter as a kid and loved it but never went beyond that unfortunately.
As mentioned in the title, I’m mostly a horror fan so I’m looking for something dark. Doesn’t have to be straight up horror obviously but preferably dealing with dark/black magic, maybe some necromancy, armies of the dead, occult stuff, etc. I finished Between Two Fires recently and liked it more as fantasy than horror (even though there were knights).
Looking for less power metal and more doom/death/black metal if that makes sense lol.

You may like the trilogy “When True Night Falls” by C.S. Friedman. It’s primarily fantasy with some scifi roots. It’s got that whole gothic, vampire vibe going on. One of the primary characters should be right up your alley.
ETA: I don’t mean sparkly, romantic vampire vibe but terror and death vampire vibe.
