Sure. 'The Poppy War' by R.F. Kuang is a relatively new bleak fantasy novel. It's set in a world inspired by Chinese history and mythology, but it's full of war, violence, and moral dilemmas. Another new one is 'Gideon the Ninth' by Tamsyn Muir. It has a rather unique and dark setting in a necromantic universe with a lot of mystery and death.
There's 'The City We Became' by N.K. Jemisin which, while not a traditional bleak fantasy, has some rather dark and challenging elements in its exploration of a city coming to life and the threats it faces. 'The Unspoken Name' by A.K. Larkwood is also a new entry in the bleak fantasy genre. It has a world full of dark magic, dangerous cults, and a protagonist with a rather difficult path filled with danger and moral choices.

A great example of a bleak fantasy novel is 'The Wind - up Girl' by Paolo Bacigalupi. It presents a future world that is a post - ecological disaster, with a lot of inequality, exploitation, and a general sense of hopelessness. 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen' by Steven Erikson is also quite bleak at times. It has a vast and complex world filled with war, death, and the fall of empires. 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King has elements of bleakness as well, especially in its portrayal of the post - apocalyptic landscapes and the characters' struggles.

There's 'Mortal Engines' by Philip Reeve. The world it creates is full of amazing and fantastical elements. It has been very popular and has also been adapted into a movie. And of course, 'The Luminaries' by Eleanor Catton, while not a pure - bred fantasy in the traditional sense, has elements of the extraordinary and is set in New Zealand which gives it a certain local - flavoured fantasy - like feel.
