Can you recommend a few best dark literary novels?

Sure. 'The Magic Pudding' by Norman Lindsay is a great start. It's a fun and easy - to - read children's story that still has a lot of charm for adults. It's set in Australia and has unique characters.

For beginners, 'The Great Gatsby' is a good choice. It's not too long and has a very engaging story about wealth, love, and the American Dream in the 1920s. The writing style is beautiful and the characters are quite vivid.

😋I recommend the following dark novels to you: - [Adventurer's Words: The epic story of adventurers as the main storyline, filled with demons, dragons, conspiracies, racial conflicts, and various dangerous adventure scenes.] - [A Quick Guide to Doomsday Big Bosses]: It described a story of a world that was covered by doomsday crisis. It was filled with the dark elements of human struggle in the crisis. - "Prisoner of Disaster": The protagonist has a special identity. He is the shadow of darkness and the messenger of doomsday. The entire novel is filled with dark elements such as evil spirits, curses, and stitched hatred. - [The Strongest Hulk in the Plane: The story of a man who aspires to become the ultimate BOSS. It's full of dark styles and is not suitable for noobs.] - "This Boss Is A Little Awesome": The main character was a BOSS that was out and out. It had a dark style, and at the same time, it had funny and adventurous elements. I hope you like these books. If you need more recommendations, feel free to let me know. The above is my personal recommendation. I sincerely hope you like it ~

😋I recommend the following dark novels to you: 1. "The New Age of Darkness" was a world that existed between heaven and hell. The end of the world had already begun, and humans could only go with the flow. All of a sudden, a change appeared in the destined path. A soul that did not belong to this world descended, wanting to change fate and save those kind people who should not have had a tragic ending. 2. In the Legend of the Lord of Darkness, Hu Ming brought the Paragon System to the Diablo World. Demons and angels would eventually be trampled under the feet of the Paragon. Only humans were the protagonists of Diablo. 3. "Demon's Chapter", what would you do when you only had a few hours left to live? Walking in the shadows in the apocalypse, darkness was the best cover. Evil runes were imprinted in his eyes, and he used the dagger in his hand to pierce through the thick fog of death. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

A lesser - known but really good dark fiction novel is 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. It's a story about a group of people who go to a supposedly haunted house to study it. The way Jackson builds up the sense of the unknown and the creeping horror is brilliant. You can feel the walls of the house closing in on the characters as the story progresses.

'Hellblazer' is a good example. It follows the adventures of John Constantine, a cynical and often morally ambiguous magician. The stories are filled with dark magic, demons, and Constantine's attempts to navigate a world full of supernatural threats while also dealing with his own personal demons and addictions.

Then there's 'Moby - Dick' by Herman Melville. It's not just a story about a whale hunt but also a profound exploration of obsession, fate, and the human condition. Captain Ahab's single - minded pursuit of the white whale is a central and memorable aspect.

I recommend the following novels with ruthless protagonists: "The Emperor of the Netherworld" was a mythical cultivation novel. The Emperor of the Netherworld was ruthless and merciless. "Step by Step: The First Poisonous Pet in the Harem": A novel about fighting in the palace. The female protagonist is ruthless and counterattacks viciously. "The Demon Lord's Wife Is Pregnant" was an Eastern fantasy novel. The female protagonist was ruthless and had a cold and venomous tongue. "You're Already a Demon" was an Eastern fantasy novel. The protagonist was ruthless and self-centered. "Addicted to a Kiss: Overbearing President's Tsundere Pet": A novel about a wealthy family. The male protagonist is ruthless and extremely overbearing. "The Anti-Rebellion of the Female Supporting Actor in the End of the World": A novel about the crisis of the end of the world. The female protagonist is ruthless and the female protagonist is the villain. "Eldest Senior Brother is the Warden of the Demon Sect." It was a fantasy novel. The female protagonist was ruthless and the villain was the Warden. [How to Kill a Dragon]: A classical Xianxia novel. The female protagonist is ruthless and decisive. "Demonic Demoness Unifies the Jianghu": A novel that travels through time. The female protagonist is ruthless and the master of the demonic sect. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

'The Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller can be considered as well. It reimagines the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus in a way that is both tender and heart - breaking. It's not just a love story between two men, but also a story about heroism, loyalty, and the cost of war, all intertwined with their deep love for each other.

Sure. 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien can be a good start. It has elements of dark fantasy like the encounters with trolls and goblins, but it's also quite accessible. Another one is 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman. It's a shorter read and has a charming story with some dark elements mixed in. 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman as well. It has a unique setting in a graveyard and the main character faces various spooky challenges.
