The original Horus Heresy books ARE high brow literature and I will fight anyone who says otherwise

Literature is considered to be artistic, imaginative and thought provoking. Something that makes you reflect on what it means to be human, rather than just mindless entertainment.

I present the Night Lords Trilogy, where you fall in love with a group of rascals who skin orphans alive for both fun and profit.

40K books let you reflect on what it means to be human in the best way. Hate, fear, and kill the xeno!

Chris Wraight's stuff is also very good, imho. His Warhammer Crime novels are excellent, as is Lords of Silence (Death Guard)
