Description
Grimdark literature is characterised by its dark and violent tone, as well as its focus on morally ambiguous or flawed protagonists who are often struggling to survive in brutal and unforgiving worlds. While there is no strict definition of what qualifies as grimdark, common elements include graphic violence, bleak settings, and characters who are often driven by self-interest or survival rather than altruism or a sense of justice. This subgenre is often associated with fantasy and science fiction, but it can also be found in other genres such as horror and thriller. Sometimes seen as controversial, it can be a powerful critique of traditional heroic narratives and a reflection of the darker aspects of human nature. Regardless of one's perspective, it's clear that grimdark literature has become increasingly popular in recent years.
