r/GrimDark

So, as the title says, I finished Lightbringer last night, and I am still not over that ending. But those last 3 books were really well written. No Hollywood gloss, the hero of the first series starts to turn into the people he destroyed, and I love all of it. And all of the violence isn't for no reason, and the villains were done so well. And i love all of it

If you're feeling brave, post your spiciest Grimdark hot take in the comments.

I can't wait to read what people come up with.

Unleash Hell!

In my head GrimDark is about a world that is so fucked up it would be funny if it wasn't so sad/horrifying. So I know that means more than a zombie apocalypse, which some people think would be fun.

That basically means to me that the GrimDark aspect is not the monsters but the controlling state that sends you to fight them. And maybe also the theology?

Got something awesomely Grimdark to recommend to those who will appreciate it? Or are you looking for something new to enjoy?
