I really wouldn't call Best Served Cold horror, it's a fantasy revenge story. Also, yes, if you're into fantasy and haven't read the the First Law series then I highly recommend it.

Alright you got me. I wanted to read Abercrombie and I lied to myself that bloody grim dark would count towards my Halloween of Horrors.
And I’ll stand by it, far bloodier than some of the other entries.

Even if you’re not into fantasy, it’s worth a look. I’m pretty iffy on the genre (there are a few gems I love, but I’m mostly not that interested in the tropes fantasy gets stuck in), but Abercrombie grabbed me pretty quickly.

Was going to say the same thing. Incredible book but grimdark fantasy not horror (or even horror adjacent tbh), with a great sense of humor.
His 'First Law' series that this is a part of is probably in my top 5 favorite fantasy works

Literally my favourite book series by far. I've read them all multiple times and still thoroughly enjoy them.
