I'm really interested in dark fantasy, but it's hard to me to find any books I might be interested in. Could anyone recommend me a good dark fantasy book? Preferably something that is also an urban fantasy, please.

Weird Tales is probably the magazine for you, but it's mostly short stories.I'm really interested in dark fantasy, but it's hard to me to find any books I might be interested in. Could anyone recommend me a good dark fantasy book? Preferably something that is also an urban fantasy, please.
You might be interested in The Lathe of Heaven, even though it's classified as science fiction.

Legend. Seriously, ask anyone.
No problem! Also, I'm reading the Bone Doll's Twin now...it's VERY dark, but really really good.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as dark fantasy or not - but you might want to check out R. A. Salvatore's "Dark Elf Triology." Pretty intense stuff to say the least....

A good, imo, modern urban fantasy series, that does get a bit dark, is Katherine Kurtz's "The Adept" series.
Although to get the most enjoyment out of it you do need to read the series in order.
