Speaking of that, there are the Warhammer books. There's the Trollslayer books (though I don't think of them as particularly grim or dark).

But I remember starting the 5 book Malus Darkblade series about a rebellious dark elf. This isn't some wimpy Drizzt dark elf. Darkblade is evil. To be honest, I stopped reading the first book because it was just too dark for my tastes.

The real problem with the Warhammer books is their price. $12 a book?
