Goodreads "Best Dark Humor" - Page 2

"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.
