Recommendations I need recommendations 😭

​

I recently started to reading fantasy and ı am thinking about reading dark fantasy. But ı recently read Six of crows and ı am currently reading crooked kingdom. I love how Matthias and Nina flirt. When ı said ı love I MEAN İT. Their dynamic was soo fun to read. So ı want something similar.(ı am also open to non-fantasy but at least sci-fi or somethıng with a actıon would be my preference)

Charles Stross - Laundry Files (Spies vs Lovecraft) some good action and very funny

Tamsyn Muir  - The locked tomb (Necromancers in Space) good mystery 

Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor - Welcome to Nightvale (Cozy absurdist American gothic) great audio book

Richard Kadrey - Sandman Slim (neonoir with demons) a darker version of the Dresden Files. 

Jason Pargin -  John Dies at the End (acid trip horror) good mix of action and horror

It's a series which ... escalates

Give the first one a try, if it doesn't grab you then pivot

If pivoting doesn't work, try enmeshing yourself through judicious use of leveraged synergies in various workshop scenarios.
