Werner are dark stories about a witch hunter tracking down heretics and chaos spawn.  Sometimes Matthias Thulmann's methods are a bit...severe.The Mallus Darkblade stories by Dan Abnett and Mike Lee- The Daemon's Curse, Bloodstorm, and Reaper of Souls.  These are TRULY dark elves, and they aren't sissies like elves in every other setting.  Drow look like mentally impaired kindergardeners compared to them.The Eisenhorn books for Warhammer 40k are great too.  Eisenhorn the Inquisitor is hunting down heretics, but becomes one himself in the process.  The Eisenhorn stories are unusually complex and deep for fiction nowdays, not just gaming fiction.Dead Man's Hand by Nancy Collins is a series of short stories set in the Old West by White Wolf.  While they have vampires, werewolves, etc, they aren't the critters from the game lines, and its actually a really good read.The are hard to find now, but a Fistful of Dead Guys, A Few Dead Guys More, and the Good, the Bad and the Dead were three books of short stories for the Deadlands setting.  A few of the short stories were bland, but most were good and inspired me to run several campaign arcs in an ongoing Deadlands game.  The three-part story involving Quantrill's Raiders was especially memorable.</blockquote>
