a type of fantasy fiction (= stories that are not set in the real world) with characters who behave in ways that are morally bad and a subject matter that is sad, hopeless, or violent

They prefer grimdark to more uplifting genres of fiction. 他们更爱看暗黑奇幻小说，而不是鼓舞人心的小说。

Is this going to be the end of the grimdark and gore that has so integrated itself into comics over the last decade? 这会是过去十年里充斥着暗黑和血腥元素的漫画书的终结吗？

I'm not a fan of grimdark fantasy. 我不喜欢暗黑奇幻小说。

It's a bit grimdark, but I think it meshes well with my own writing style. 这个风格有点暗黑，但我觉得它和我本人的写作风格很契合。
