The most popular French dark fantasy books of 2022

Dark fantasy is fantasy with the lights turned down. Its worlds are brutal, its magic costs dearly and its heroes are often not heroes at all. Horror seeps in at the edges. Choose it when you want high stakes, moral complexity and no guarantee of a happy ending. This list shows the ones first published in 2022. Only books in French are listed.
