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.
For horror horror movies, I recommend Tempting the River: The Eye of the Ghost. This book was about the life of a television editor and reporter. During an interview, he encountered a soul-stirring incident and faced a mysterious river and a thousand-year curse. As for the tragic romance novel, I recommend " Reborn Seven Misses: The Evil King's Favorite Concubine's Deep Tricks ". This novel was about a woman who was framed. Later, time went back to the age of 15. Then, she embarked on a series of redemption and spent time with the man who had misunderstood her. I hope you like my recommendation.
If you like bleak novels, then I strongly recommend readers to read "The Secret Love of the Emperor: The First Silly Concubine." It was an ancient romance novel about a fight in the palace. From the description of a coveted palace like the Ruyan Palace to the cold wind and painful cries, the style and plot were very touching. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~๐
