Looking for some self-contained grimdark books to read. Most of the genre seems to be the form of trilogies or even longer series, but I'm not looking to start a long project right now. Just a single story within one book, and then move on to other stuff (unless I get hooked..)

The internet didn't come up completely short on this topic. This article contains some recommendations already.

Between Two Fires has such an interesting premise!

Yeah! I was looking for something horror or horror adjacent and I was not expecting religious horror to pop up. It's easy to read too, though it does get a bit, uh, what's the word, crude at times. Not in the writing, but what's being portrayed.

Hm, very curious.
