The Infinite State is a tour-de-force in science fiction storytelling that has me absolutely chomping at the bit for the rest of the Decurion Saga.

I wish that Warhammer 40K would release more of these kind of black comedy stories.

The imagination on display is incredible.

There is a niche sub-genre of vampire fiction that I particularly enjoy involving how vampires hide in plain sight and get away with murder.

The next issue of Grimdark Magazine is here and once again it is packed to the absolute hilt with awesomeness.

IT’S BOOK RELEASE DAY! Welcome back to Low Town in Daniel Polansky’s stand alone novella THE SOFT TOUCH, out today.

An excellent addition to the Diablo story and lore.

Heresy rots the empire from within.

It’s rare for books to actually live up to their comp titles, but in Nestlings Nat Cassidy truly delivers on the promise of Rosemary’s Baby meets Salem’s Lot.

Tanzer has an oeuvre that is hard to pin down, but an absolute joy to explore.

A very ambitious and promising debut.

A bloodthirsty, alternative past set in the Byzantine era. Classic horror, dark fantasy survival. Brutal medieval horror. The vampire mythos reimagined. Blood of the Damned by Antony J. Stanton is easy to summarize, yet it is about so much more.

We are honoured to reveal the cover for Joel Minty’s upcoming Purge of Ashes.

The Soft Touch by Daniel Polansky is grimdark perfection. A ray of hope amongst the gritty, the grimy, and the horrible. And then the twist. A novella almost purpose made for this group. Check out chapter 1 over on our site. www.grimdarkmagazine.com/exclusive-ex...

I savoured every single rotten second of it.

No one was stabbed during the interview, as far as we know.

Continues with the same “what-if-Knives-Out-but-it’s-fantasy” formula.

If you’ve spent any time in the online bookish spaces, chances are high you’ve either heard of or crossed paths with the fungal king Adrian M. Gibson.

The Soft Touch, by Daniel Polansky (pub by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social) is a rather excellent dark novella that will be equally enjoyed by Low Town veterans or those in their first trip to Rigus; an example of well-executed characterization work. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

We jumped at the chance to speak with Sara Hinkley, an author and costume designer, about her debut novel The Red Sacrament.

A very powerful and intensely grim graphic novel, packed with substance, atmosphere and a brilliant story.

All I can really say is: chef’s kiss. Adrian M. Gibson cooked, and I cleaned my plate.

The Ash Remains is an epic, action packed, novel that mixes gritty soldiery with majestic dragon riding.

If the series ended here, it would be a good ending.

An awesome view and an awesome read! Tearing through the new Polansky novella from @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social and loving it so far.

🌊 COVER REVEAL ⚓️ We’re so excited to reveal the cover for @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social’s second novella of 2026: FORTUNE’S WAKE by @clclark.bsky.social, a standalone fantasy about a failed monster hunter. Releasing August 24! Cover art by Rene Aigner. Cover design by @adrianmgibson.bsky.social.

Our team checked out the premiere of Disclosure Day. If you’re a Spielberg SF film buff, strap in.

It’s almost time … @clclark.bsky.social @adrianmgibson.bsky.social

Character-driven grimdark at its absolute finest.

Tomorrow. @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social

We recently caught up with C.J. Leede to chat about her latest, surely-to-be award-winning novel Headlights; her unique vision of the afterlife; the themes that connect her books; why she’s like a wolf dog; her next, possibly tongue-free novel; and much more.

Space Marine: Master Crafted Edition is a full remaster of the classic hack and shoot game that has since gotten its sequel in the wildly popular Space Marine II.

Disquiet Gods is the masterpiece everyone says it is.

It’s one thing for a skilled writer to make you care about a character in 600 pages, but to do it in ten is altogether something else.

Next in our series of art releases from the print edition of Grimdark Magazine, The King of Ninridu by Derek Leman brought to brilliant life by @shogunkamyu.bsky.social . The artwork @bethtabler.bsky.social has procured for this issue is gorgeous. Hope you're enjoying them!

Slightly unhinged, and crawling with demons.

Enjoy every tortured scream, lightsaber swing, and blaster hit that your grim and dark heart desires.

I’d definitely recommend A Plagued Sea to fans of either Korean storytelling or Lovecraftian adaptations, and certainly to those who like both.

News: I'll be a guest at Comic-Con Melbourne 6-7 June. If you're there, you'll be able to purchase, one month ahead of publication, a 'surprise' new release from me. No cover reveal yet, no nothing. But if you're there, they'll be available. ozcomiccon.com/t-r-napper/

Part three of Christian Cameron and Emma Burnett's Reconnaissance Notes was brought to life by @shogunkamyu.bsky.social in gorgeous colour in the pages of Grimdark Magazine Issue 46.

It’s the audacity of the experiment itself that kept me reading.

We are just 30 days away from going back to Low Town! Grimdark fans: THIS is what we've been waiting for. Dark and gritty AF, full of the greyest of morally grey characters, Low Town is one of the trilogies that that ALWAYS gets talked about with the best of dark fantasy.

Escalation, thy name is Richard Swan’s Steel Gods.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance has won its place in my library of superlative tier games.

Another Simone Tametta dark fantasy artwork from the pages of Grimdark Magazine Issue 46 (April '26). This time depicting an eerie scene from the short story See That My Grave is Kept Clean by @joshrountree.bsky.social Direction by @bethtabler.bsky.social #darkfantasy #fantasyart #GrimdarkFantasy

An entertaining if flawed final season.

64.- The Soft Touch (A Low Town Novella), by Daniel Polansky (pub by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social)

Deeply horrifying, weird as hell, and completely mind-altering.
