Spice up my reading life Anonymous Mon Nov 27 05:37:53 2017 No.10321043 [Reply] [Original]

Anyone have any suggestions on sci-fi/fantasy books which break away from the hero's journey? I mainly just want an idea of what works and what doesn't. I know a lot of Lovecraftian stuff does. Just spent most of my life playing games, reading comics or reading books which are really popular(LotR, H. P., GoT, Horus Heresy, Dune, etc.) and I just want to break away from all that stuff. A friend suggested the Foundation Trilogy to me(which I'm still reading), and I'm currently looking up Phillip K. Dick books.

tl;dr
>help me find fictional books which break away from the norm
>the darker the better
