I’m on the hunt for particularly atmospheric dark fantasy books. My problem is that the examples I give for the vibes I want tend to be from more visual and/or interactive mediums: the world building and tone of the Dark Souls games, Kentaro Miura’s *Berserk,* Plastiboo’s *Vermis* project, and the quiet, gloomy vibes you get from a dungeon synth album with some misty fantasy landscape or crumbling tower as its cover art.
I know that some older sword and sorcery series with morally grey characters like *Kane* or *Elric* tend to get called dark fantasy, and I do intend on checking out the latter, but I’m not sure if they’ll be quite what I’m looking for.
Apologies for how weirdly specific this is. Any suggestions are appreciated.
