Can you recommend some popular dark humour novels?

Sure. 'Fight Club' by Chuck Palahniuk is a great one. It has a darkly humorous take on consumer culture and masculinity within a rather 'crime - like' context of the fight club itself. Another is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis which uses dark humour to satirize the excesses of the 1980s yuppie culture while also being a disturbing crime - centered story.

South Park is definitely a popular choice. It often tackles controversial topics with dark humor and satire. The show's characters and storylines are quite unique and bold.

One is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. It's set in a small town where every year there's a lottery. At first, it seems like a normal event, but in the end, the 'winner' gets stoned to death by the townspeople. It's a chilling yet darkly humorous look at how blindly following tradition can be dangerous.

Sure. Here's one. A man goes to the doctor and says, 'Doctor, I keep seeing into the future.' The doctor says, 'When did this start?' The man replies, 'Next Tuesday.'

One of the best humour novels is 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams. It's filled with absurd situations and hilarious characters. For example, the concept of the 'Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything' being 42 is both silly and thought - provoking.

Dark humour novels often deal with serious or taboo topics like death, war, and social problems in a humorous way. For example, they might make jokes about the absurdity of war or the silliness of human behavior in the face of mortality.

One of the best is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It's set during World War II and uses black humor to expose the absurdity of war and military bureaucracy. The situations the characters find themselves in are both hilarious and tragic at the same time.

Yes, 'Swami and Friends' by R. K. Narayan is a classic. It follows the adventures of a young boy named Swami and his friends in a small South Indian town. The humorous situations and the vivid portrayal of the characters make it a delightful read.

Ruskin Bond's works also contain a lot of humour. For example, in many of his short stories set in the Indian hills, he uses humour to depict the simple yet interesting lives of the local people.

Sure. 'The Silence of the Lambs' is a popular dark novel. It features the infamous Hannibal Lecter and his mind games with FBI agent Clarice Starling. Then there's '1984' by George Orwell. While not strictly horror in the traditional sense, it has a very dark and dystopian view of society. Also, 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding shows how quickly a group of boys can descend into savagery when left without adult supervision.
