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.

You can try some of Joe Abercrombies standalones. My first book by him was The Heroes and I enjoyed it, although it does contain references to characters from the trilogy.
