From Little Stack
Glen Cook was one of the first authors to dabble in the grimdark genre. The result: the masterpiece that is The Black Company. It’s part military fantasy, part action-adventure, but all dark, gritty, bloody, and epic.
These characters aren’t heroes by any stretch—they’re self-centered, arrogant, petty, and savage—but I absolutely adore every minute of their story because I just can’t help wondering what they’re going to do next.
