Dark comedy books
Dark comedy finds something ridiculous in situations that still hurt, frighten or disturb. Death, corruption and cruelty can become comic subjects without losing their consequences. The balance between discomfort and amusement varies considerably from book to book.

How we choose booksFinding your way around this shelf
Start with the premise and any useful context in the profile. A mordant family story asks something different of you than a gory horror comedy. Consider the subject as well as the humor style, especially when you want a lighter read.
Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
