Not sure if this fits here-A Nightmare’s Point of View –
Nightmares never go away… You may chase them away. You can think you killed them… You may stop believing and forget them, but Nightmares never go away… Nightmares don’t die… They just wait…
Explore what’s on the other side of the shadows… What really is going on when the last remnants of light fade out and you close your eyes to sleep? Nowhere is safe when they find you…
Atheireyn are the ultimate nightmare species. They are nigh unbeatable, indestructible, unyielding, and unkillable…
No matter where, they can move through shadows. They can open doorways to anywhere in the universe and when they are hungry, there is no place that is safe…
The book is about a monstrous alien named Embrance trying to change his species’ deathly eating habits. It is a Sci-fi fantasy adventure with an array of emotions, colorful characters, and perspectives. It isn’t a light read. This is a healthy-size Sci-fi dark fantasy and a plus-size adventure. Warning: contains some adult themes and some gore.

The Chronicle of Thomas Covenant. It’s a series, one that satirizes fantasy fiction.
A man named Thomas Covenant is a leper. It’s taken his whole life from him. He’s sad, bitter, full of self loathing. And then he dies and wakes up in a world where he’s in perfect health and everyone loves him. The tell him he’s the hero destined to defeat the great evil Lord Foul. (A sauron or Voldemort like figure).
Thomas thinks he’s having a breakdown and oscillates between believing he’s having a psychotic break, trying to help people, and worrying that he’s actually secretly an agent of the dark lord. It causes him intense stress, and causes him to do a lot of things that hint that his problems were likely not entirely about his (for the time) incurable leprosy.
It’s a very dark look at a person who many would consider irredeemable as he attempts to wrestle with just how terrible of a person he is and if he can conquer it.
I don’t know if this would fully qualify as young adult but a lot of old fantasy and even modern genre fiction has been retroactively placed into YA. Probably good if you consider Scythe to be kind of tame though.
