Looking for Books etc fitting my Taste

[Halfdan]

I'm looking for a specific kind of Books(or games, tv shows/movies..)

I'm not dire how to classified them. Maybe you can help me with that also.

Generes that comes to my mind are: drama, thriller, adventure, gothichorror, fantasy

I love Asoif, Witcher (book&Games) Dragonbonechair, Tolkien. Taboo(tvshow)

One Aspect i'm often missing is that bright good vs evil forces. I like how Martin displays that much morw greyish. The Human heart in conflict with itself.
I also don't like it if something is to "magical".

I also love mysterys, intrigues and big Plots. Violence, Sex is also a nice part that makes a story more interesting to me..(if it fits)

Timeperiods (or inspired by) everything before industrialisation. Beginning of industrialisation is still ok - or steampunk.

Try Joe Abercrombies First Law trilogy starting with The Blade Itself

 

[nixie]

I'd recommend anything by Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, John Gwynne, Anthony Ryan you may also enjoy Brent Weeks and Peter V Brett although they aren't as strong as the first few I mentioned.

My personal favourite is Steven Erickson amazing author but a lot of people struggle with the first book.

There are also a number of amazing writers who post here.
Bryan Wigamore ; The Goddess Project, if you like your fantasy with a twist this is well worth a read.
Brian Turner; Gathering, first instalment of what will likely be a classic fantasy epic.
Jo Zebedee; has an excellent space opera series Abendua Legacy, a standalone alien invasion tale Inish Carraig and a fantasy stand alone Waters and Wilds.
Nathan Hystad; Surviors series, an enjoyable alien invasion story.

There are a number of others as well, who are on my too read list.

One Aspect i'm often missing is that bright good vs evil forces. ... The Human heart in conflict with itself.

Sounds like you might enjoy some David Gemmell - Legend was his first book and is often regarded as one of his best.
