I like books/movies that have unhappy endings. The gloom and doom type probably because your typical movie/book does not suprise me often. I am looking for a book recomendation where the good guys fail. End of the world, natural desaster, aliens or any senerio is fine. Not Arthur C Clarke tho. I read every short story he has written already. Nine Billion names of God by Arthur C Clarke was my favoriate un-happy ending story
What genres do you read? I'm a fan of the bittersweet ending myself.

I'm going to go a little bit different, but it's something that fits the request.

Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle is another excellent book of this type.

Any book about a guy and his pet dog/deer/raccoon/otter/etc. has a sad ending.

Ring of Bright Water for the Otter.

If I check a pbook version of a story involving a cat, I always ask the friend I'm shopping with to check the end for me: is the cat okay?
