Having a hard time finding my “niche.” I love dark or harrowing stories about families with child characters who are either the protagonists or very present throughout the story. I prefer when the child character doesn’t just become an adult halfway through the book.
I loved Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage, When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy, and Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez.
I read Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky but despised the dialogue. I feel the same way about Stephen King. His kid characters don’t feel realistic.

It sounds like h{{Monstrilio}} might be right up your alley IF you like gothic horror and some monster horror stuff
*The Road* by Cormac McCarthy. Father and son, post apocalyptic survival story. It’s harrowing and dark. Soul crushingly bleak. The writing is incredible once you get used to McCarthy’s style.
