Goodreads "Best Dark Humor"

"Death, drug abuse, bodily functions, gratuitous violence and hopeless losers can all be funny. If you couldn't really laugh at the bad stuff, then life would be a real drag. So, what's dark and funny to you?" (Goodreads)
Your larrikin Aussie retired academic offers you this colourful, some might say offensive, challenge; surprisingly it has almost nothing to do with Valentine's Day 2022. Largely restricted to books with 1000+ ratings on Goodreads.
