looking desperately for as many recommendations that are a blend of high fantasy/horror or sci-fantasy/horror.

can be from any year/decade as long as they are not extremely obvious (popular, acclaimed, prolific culturally among book-people, hopefully you understand this is what i mean by "obvious") suggestions in this vein, i've probably read them.

don't care if they are pulp-fiction tier or extremely polished prose, as long as they are emotionally gripping and immersive. as far as 'type' of horror within the other 2 genres goes, it doesn't matter as long as it elicits strong feelings in the reader, and strong empathy for the characters and their ordeals.

this appears to be an unpopular opinion as i read comments upthread praising the narration, but i utterly despise Peter Kenny's Witcher narration.

please don't confuse this with me saying Peter Kenny is a bad narrator or is bad at doing voices. he is good at both. i just find him completely inappropriate and the voices he chooses or is capable of doing, to be unsuited and ludicrous.

i know there are more, but i usually listen to full audible samples now and shelve away the titles i dont like the narration style to as "read this yourself when you can"

andy serkis does good on LOTR but his singing is excruciating, too. ALL SONGS MUST BE SKIPPED i can't take it
