If you are a Sanderson fan and looking for a nice set of tales to enjoy and stoke your mind, Tailored Realities is a great pick-up.

With brilliant and unique fight scenes and an excellent lead, this is another hit for Netflix.

One of the seminal video games in the survival horror genre and the originator of the genre in 3D.

A well-written, complex, epic fantasy, erring comfortably enough on the darker side to appeal to a grimdark fan.

Just wrapped up writing novella two of this year. This one is in collaboration with @phokion.bsky.social, and is being serialised by @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social. You should check it out!

NYT #1 bestselling author Marie Lu sat down with us at Grimdark to discuss her debut adult fantasy Red City.

Harrison’s most layered, meta, and tricksy work yet.

Bold, brutal, and maybe the best of an incredible canon.

Don’t mind me nursing the sweetest book hangover for the foreseeable future, cheers.

The festive season fast approaches and with it comes the eternal struggle that is figuring out what to gift your loved ones and frenemies. Let us help.

The news is out! The Broken Binding is producing a special edition of my novella Casthen Gain from @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social 💜 * Signed * Foil on Boards * Digital Fore-Edge * Block-Sprayed Top & Bottom * Royal Hardback £19.99 + P&P ~ Pre-order NOW: thebrokenbindingsub.com/products/cas...

The pulpy subgenre sword & sorcery still thrives.

THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social just hit 300 ratings! This brilliant novella is absolutely smashing it, and with The Broken Binding limited editions shipping soon, and the audiobook landing right before Xmas, no matter how you imbibe or admire your dark fantasy horror, we've got you.

In 2023, Hexworks launched a new game called Lords of the Fallen. Technically a sequel to the 2015 game of the same name, this Lords of the Fallen also acted as a kind of reboot since the first one never hit its stride. Sadly, this second attempt also met mixed reviews … initially.

Every character has teeth, every alliance has rot underneath, and every moment of tenderness feels like it was dragged through a battlefield.

Big, bold, visually mesmerising, sad, and stacked with grit in the face of hopelessness, Kill Lupercal showcases how good the 40k genre is on screen.

THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social is now available in audiobook thanks to narrator Philip Battley and the folks at Podium!

Was pumped when Beth & Adrian @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social asked me to write a story for their special cyberpunk issue. On top of that, somehow I got the cover art (look at the contributors to the issue - a truly stellar line-up). It's their first print edition, and I can't wait to get mine.

@grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social is now offering PRINT subscriptions!!! And look at the lineup!

Recently, we talked with author Matthew Dawkins about his recent release in The World Below, a fantastic RPG setting in a vast underground kingdom.

Frankenstein (2025) is a dark, beautiful and maudlin tale.

Grimdark Magazine Issue #45 is here and ready for pre-orders. This quarter we are going all in on cyberpunk and SF, featuring some of the best short fiction writers in the genre injecting gritty and horrifying futures to your very eyes. AND WE’RE DOING IT IN PRINT.

A must-read if you like your fantasy sharp, morally compromised, politically loaded, and full of complicated characters who will sink their claws in you, whether you like it or not.

Lesbians versus zombies on a steam-punk Titanic might sound glib, but there’s nothing superficial about this seriously addictive, dark, and bitingly well-written opener to a trilogy I am suddenly extremely excited about.

I love the idea of competing groups of adventurers fighting over a vast underground hellscape like a Mad Max underground.

IN THE SHADOW OF THEIR DYING is part of The Broken Binding Black Friday sale! Get in and mop those last few copies up.

With a compelling protagonist, a world that feels lived in, and some of the best fight dynamics out there today, Ghost of Yotei is an essential purchase.

A dagger in a fantasy world shouldn’t exist just for aesthetics. Find out why, thanks to author Sarah Mughal Rana.

Gorgeous imagery, great character work, and a world rife with religious and political tension.

A great novel if you’re looking for a near-future murder mystery with a likable protagonist in a dystopian but plausible future.

Horrifying, bleak, gloomy, and melancholic, Kingdoms of Death is a treat for sci-fi, Sun Eater, and grimdark fans alike. www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-kingd...

This is another great tale by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. And @longlukearnold.bsky.social narration is superb! Can't wait to get my hands on the Scour!

The Works of Vermin is not just a landmark novel of dystopian satire but one of the great speculative works of the twenty-first century.

COVER REVEAL! Michael R. Fletcher’s @michaelrfletcher.bsky.social latest book, DOGGED releases on the 15th of December 2025. We’re all pretty pumped to get it into our eye holes, so come check out the glorious cover!

The Lost Reliquary isn’t a formulaic or predictable read, but it is the sum of many good dark fantasy parts, and that should make it work for a lot of readers.

If you're a fan of dark and grim science-fiction and fantasy, wander on over and give these awesome folks a follow!

Hey, Sydneysiders. A reminder to come see @richardswanauthor.bsky.social talk everything The Scour ( @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social ) and Empire of the Wolf with Kell Woods at @galaxybookshop.bsky.social on the 6th of December. Link to event 👇

If you’re looking for an R-rated urban fantasy or occult detective series, then this is a solid place to start.

After a bit of a spurt in subscriber growth thanks to the release of WARDOG by @michaelrfletcher.bsky.social , we are getting closer to that 1k subs mark. Get on board with out screen narration project here: youtube.com/@grimdarkmag...

Wander on over to @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social's youtube channel and bask in the sexy glory of THE LAST WARDOG as read by Colin Mace! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQMY...

Some fans will still hate it and I get that, but with a more human titular character, a badass sorceress, a delightful vampire, and one of the best villains on TV this year, The Witcher S4 is a fun grimdark adventure.

Or third YouTube performance is here, with actor Colin Mace narrating fan favourite @michaelrfletcher.bsky.social ’s THE LAST WARDOG.

The story so far! #whalesong is out in the world and there’s a new novella in @grimdarkmagazine.bsky.social that I’m writing with author and scientist @slashnburnett.bsky.social with yet more ‘secrets of empire.’ And week after next I’ll start writing ‘The Alien’s War’

A brutal survival sci-fi thriller with dangerously sharp teeth but a surprisingly warm, human heart.

Eric Malikyte is the author of several of our favorite Cthulhu and cyberpunk novels. We recently enjoyed his latest occult horror novel, Cthulhu: Grimoire and jumped at the chance to sit down and chat with him.

A short, punchy journey into shadowy folklore and dark dealings.

I think a game should respect our time enough to acknowledge most of us don’t want to play a game 4-6 times all the way through to “complete” it.

Hierarchy is becoming one of those series that will go down amidst the pantheon of SFF greats.

Hazelthorn is an unapologetically dark tale full of trauma, hurt, and rage, and isn’t afraid to strangle you with its twisted vines.
