Funny horror books

A frightening story can leave room for a petty argument, an awkward job or a narrator with a dry response to disaster. Comic horror uses those human habits alongside ghosts, monsters and bodily danger. The jokes may ease the tension or make an already disturbing situation more uncomfortable.
