If you like Abercrombie, also check out Richard Morgan's The Steel Remains (and subsequent books). I recently read that and am about to start the next book The Cold Commands.
Guy Gavriel Kay is also good for good/evil ambiguity, in particular Tigana and The Lions of Al-Rassan. His tone is not really dark, tending to show that there are no clear cut good or bad guys, rather that people are human, with human motivations (as opposed to the Evil Overlord).
Probably not deliberately dark, but I always found Kim Stanley Robinson quite depressing. Mostly because his versions of our near future are all too believable.
Cordwainer Smith is not precisely dark, but in many ways disturbing and definitely though-provoking.
