Dark Fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy that incorporates darker themes and elements, often blending the fantastical with the macabre. It explores the darker aspects of human nature, morality, and the supernatural, creating a world where good and evil are not easily defined.
In Dark Fantasy, characters may face moral dilemmas, and the settings often include eerie landscapes and ominous creatures. Works in this genre, such as The Witcher series and Pan's Labyrinth, challenge traditional fantasy tropes, offering a more complex and sometimes unsettling narrative that captivates readers and viewers alike.
