What I love about this series:
- Creepy, eerie, almost "dirty" vibes (not sexual dirty, like dirt dirty)
- Historical fiction with an element that isn't actually speculative but feels like it
- Mostly male cast, but the female characters are well-developed and interesting
- Expansive – either a long series or just one really long book
My other favourite series of all time, The Cornish Trilogy by Robertson Davies, happens to tick these boxes, so that might be helpful.
