BJBlue Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 well if you want classic dark writings then you should pick up H.P Lovecrafts 'Necronomicon'. a collection of his best stories which inspired the likes of Stephen King to write horror. Not funny in the slightest. but good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeykieran Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Not sure about dark and funny but if you haven't read the godfather or the sicilian by mario puzo before then I certainly recommend both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 both volumes of blair by anthony seldon were not funny atall, and feature the dark arts of spin doctors like campbell. provided you dont kiss me by duncan hamilton about brian clough is quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Anyone read anything dark and funny recently that you would recommend. Ta. Most Irvine Welsh should wet your appetite. Probably best reading Trainspotting or Glue first then moving onto the rest of them. Also: A Clockwork Orange Any Bukowski. Apples (Richard Millward) Any John Fante.
