I very much liked "The Lonesome Gods" by Louis L'amour. It's available as an e-book. The leading character isn't quite "dark", but has some dark qualities and has to come to terms with his environment in order to survive. It's been a long while since I read it, but the protagonist definitely had to overcome the odds, change his concept of "normal", and also there was, as is important in Westerns, a strong "good guys win in the end" finish.
