Hello Readers,
This season, why settle for just scary when you can have funny
Halloween reads that are clever, spooky, and downright hilarious. From bumbling
monster hunters and apprentices of Death to small-town slasher chaos and
murderously funny weddings, these dark humour books perfectly blend quirky twists with just the
right amount of chills.
Monster hunting has never been this funny. Van Helsing’s Guide to Monsters and Dating is a quirky, campy delight that mashes up the paranormal with tongue-in-cheek horror satire. Following the hapless Jefferson Van Helsing (descendant of the Dracula-slayer himself), the story blends awkward dates, monster mishaps, and laugh-out-loud guidebook entries. With werewolf roommates, invisible friends, and plenty of snort-worthy moments, this book is equal parts spooky and sweet.
In Mort, Terry Pratchett delivers a hilariously grim tale that’s equal parts witty and thought-provoking. As Mort stumbles through training to take over the family business, we’re introduced to Death’s realm, his horse Binky, and a world where the macabre is strangely heartwarming. Packed with laugh-out-loud absurdity and surprisingly dark reflections, Mort is the perfect blend of spooky and satirical.
Everyone in the Group Chat Dies is a witty, fast-paced horror comedy that takes small-town mystery and gives it a killer twist. Told through Claire’s sharp, chatty narration, the book blends red herrings, creepy obsessions, and laugh-out-loud banter that feels like being part of the group yourself.
You May Now Kill the Bride is a darkly funny rom-com with a sprinkle of mystery. With sharp, witty dialogue, flawed but fascinating characters, and plenty of secrets bubbling beneath the surface, this story balances laugh-out-loud humour with suspenseful twists. Packed with messy relationships, shocking reveals, and killer charm, it’s a perfect pick for readers who like their spooky season served with both drama and dark comedy.
Such Sharp Teeth is a darkly funny and heartfelt supernatural tale that blends horror, humour, and relatable life twists. When Rory hits something on the road and survives a mysterious attack, she soon discovers she’s become a werewolf and must navigate her new reality while keeping everyone else in the dark. Told entirely from Rory’s sharp, witty perspective, the story balances laugh-out-loud moments with real-life themes of trauma, transformation, and acceptance.
