Grimdark: A grim story in a dark world. Endings that don’t particularly favour the protagonist and a bit of black humour are the stalwarts of this genre.
Channel your inner Joe Abercrombie. Write a piece of fiction that cleaves its way through the any genre, where bad things are done for good reasons, and the square jawed hero or pure evil antagonist are lost in the shades of grey in between.
A sword/axe/fist finding its merry way into a foe or three probably wouldn’t go astray either.
