The Outlaw Empire by Nicholas Eames is supposedly releasing this year, so I need something chunky to fill the gap. I’ve gone through Abercrombie and Lawrence as you might expect, and yes I have read the hell out of The Expanse. I don’t want to start Game of Thrones until I know there is a last book :P

Anyone have any suggestions that might scratch the itch?

If you like campy humor mixed with your grimdark Dungeon Crawler Carl is one of the best things ever.

Could try some Warhammer 40k. Gaunt's Ghosts by Dan Abnett is a good series

It depends on what about grimdark appeals to you.

For ultraviolence: Acts of Caine by Matt Stover, especially the first book. Though this is maybe sci-fi?

For snobbery hoity toity book club cred: Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe

For ultimate chunk: The Malazan Cycle by Steven Erikson. I recommend reading with a wiki open. It's worth the struggle, but it IS a struggle to get started.

My word, ‘ultimate chunk’ appears to have been an understatement! Gonna have a go at at Gardens of the Moon - thanks :)
