What defines dark fantasy?

Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it's an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.

I agree with this. A combination of mood and settings, and to add @[email protected] 's answer to it, not all good decisions lead to good outcomes. Bad things happen to good people who are trying to do good things.

A combination of this all.
