If dark, creepy sci-fi is your thing, I think I can say with confidence that you will love the Hyperion books. They don't even have the annoying side-effect of being about an intolerably obnoxious protagonist like the Thomas Covenant books are! Hyperion has numerous protagonists so if you don't like one, you'll almost certainly like another. The first book gives you 7 choices. The second book expands on that while having all protagonists' stories told through yet another main character's POV to some degree. That sounds way more complicated than it is -- and sure as hell is about 1/20th less complicated than the number of main characters ASoIaF tries to tell the story with. XD
And to give you a solid idea of what these books are like without spoiling anything -- one of the main characters who ends up having a lot more input on the story than others is an android clone of the poet John Keats. Other primary characters include a Catholic priest, a female private detective, a female politician, a black soldier, and a Jewish scholar trying to save his daughter's life. It's a fantastic novel in its diversity as well as the poignancy of its storytelling and the creepiness of its monsters. It's a very intellectually satisfying series so far in a way that ASoIaF doesn't even come close to. The only warning I would give is that it can get a bit graphic in the gore department (as interstellar wars can tend to be), but it's not gratuitous. It's straight-up good writing.
