Good dark/gothic fantasy novels?
Could you recommend some good fantasy books with dark, preferably gothic settings and/or style?
I’m especially interested in stories with original ideas (i.e. no vampires, werewolves, fairies and such).
No paranormal romance, thank you. It isn’t for me.
The Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake is a classic.
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostrova is another good one – it does have vampires, but they’re not the stereotypical popular sparkly ones, and they’re actually relatively minor.
