Looking for some self-contained grimdark books to read. Most of the genre seems to be the form of trilogies or even longer series, but I'm not looking to start a long project right now. Just a single story within one book, and then move on to other stuff (unless I get hooked..)

The internet didn't come up completely short on this topic. This article contains some recommendations already.

I opted for Under the Pendulum Sun from the link I posted. It's available as a DRM free ebook from the publishers page: https://angryrobotbooks.com/books/under-the-pendulum-sun/

Let's see how it turns out.. No reason to stop recommending things though!
