Oh goody - dark and funny, just my favourite type of
book.
I'll third the suggestions for Ken Bruen. His books
make you feel as though you shouldn't be laughing, but you
just have to. Also Charles Willeford, Daniel Woodrell (does
that make me weird?)Jim Thompson (yes, OK, it's official -
I'm weird), Charlie Stella, Allan Guthrie, Robert Ferrigno,
Joe Lansdale (especially the Hap and Leonard series). Ray
Banks' THE BIG BLIND is deliciously warped...
************** Great selection, Donna! Willeford and Woodrell
are wonderful. Ray Banks I'm not familiar with. Victor
Gischler, who you mentioned beyond where I snipped, was
definitely dark and outrageously funny. It's hard to beat
exploding donuts. I wonder if he's come out with anything
since GUN MONKEYS.
