Need book recommendations that are just pure hopelessness, negativity, pessimism, death, and grim. No romance or love bs. No "friendship is magic" bs. No "love conquers all" bs. I need some absolutely grim and dark books no matter what the violence. Something akin to this real world. An no death fake out either. Can be fiction, fantasy, non fiction. Okay, I want a little more fantasy and fiction in there.
