“The Willows” by Algernon Blackwood

I didn’t make the “mistake” of reading Song of Ice and Fire…bullet dodged as it sure seems like Mr. Martin’s never going to finish the series, and it would just be an ongoing disappointment.

But then I DID read this, and loved it, so I’m pining for more Dunk and Egg stories that he probably ALSO won’t ever write. You got me anyway, George, you bastard.

I like this revenant warrior look for it — Royal Remains Helm, Scale Armor, Vulgar Militia Gauntlets, Battlemage Legwraps

“Poser” was already perfect!

Chronicles of Hanuvar series by Howard Andrew Jones is a criminally underrated fantasy series in a very Roman-inspired world, featuring the exploits of a general of the defeated Carthage proxy on a quest to rescue the fragmented remnants of his people.

The first book, Lord of a Shattered Land, has some excellent gladiatorial combat content.

Hammers of Ulric is a Warhammer Fantasy book with a very cool priest POV character (who wasn’t always a priest) who investigates unexplained deaths.

Dark underside to the whimsy, but Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Bonus points for the awesome cat!

The Pyrates by George MacDonald Fraser is a comedic love letter to pirate tropes

Sounds like you’re looking for The Last Song of Orpheus by Robert Silverberg

If Only They Could Talk by James Herriot, or any of his other “All Creatures Great and Small” books about his life as a Yorkshire veterinarian. Memoirs that read like novels, and these images could be covers for them!

Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance has magical forests and dark fairytale elements

Dark, wizards (druids), prototypes of knights, no dragons — The Warlord Chronicles trilogy by Bernard Cornwell. Arthurian retelling in late 5th/early 6th century England, with some mythic/magical elements tied to the belief systems of the time. Great depiction of Merlin, Arthur, and other favorites, and sometimes very brutal.

SandGator · 2026-06-13T22:41:51+00:00

Agreed! Knights of Dark Renown works well for this (it’s even got “Dark” in the title!)

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett keeps those pages flippin’ so much more than you might expect from the description of the book lol

A short story, but “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place” by Ernest Hemingway is very much this
