5 Twisted Book Recommendations for People who have a Dark Sense of Humor...
1.) Beautiful Darkness by: Kerascoët
The novel tells the tale of Aurora, a girl who finds herself taking a leadership role in her community after a horrible disaster occurs... The story starts out with a whimsical tone, but rapidly devolves into a more morbid narrative.
Beautiful Darkness is wickedly good and creepy. Surreal, surprisingly disturbing, and well...dark.
The twists in this made my jaw drop. Especially the initial one. It acts as sort of an anti-fairytale of sorts. Complemented with its cute, cartoon- ish, and simplistic art style. Its pleasant watercolors and... super bloody deaths and graphic violence. Obviously!
There is so much to unpack in this gorgeous graphic novel. Themes of death and mortality, the innate savagery within humankind, and so much more than I can get into here.
(Although if you are curious... you can read a better deconstruction of the novel here:)(Hopefully after you read it).
2.) The Bunny Suicides by: Andy Riley
Over The Top and hilarious. This is a series of feel good comic strips with no solid plot lines except for featuring cutsie creatures, (bunnies in this case) attempting a single goal: to die in the most brutally and over complicated ways imaginable. As a depressive person myself… I found this hilarious. As the name suggests, this was exactly that. A bunch of bunnies “ “unaliving “ themselves in a darkly humorous fashion. And somehow there was humor to be found in its gruesome yet, not gratuitous pages, unlike *ahem* some other shows with similar punchlines…
For me, this was what “Happy Tree Friends" was trying to be… Slightly edgy, fairly dark, outwardly innocent, and weirdly—fun?
3.) Dead Weight: Murder at Camp Bloom by: Terry Blas
✨Camp✨ is in the name and in the game for this graphic novel.
When a group of misfit kids staying at a fat camp for the summer find out that one of the councilors have been brutally murdered, it's up to them to find out who did it, and if the killer plans on striking again…
There's a nice diversity to the characters here, and their sleuthing reminded me of the Mystery Gang meets Sleep Away Camp. The art style was round and soft, and was somewhat reminiscent of the Gravity Falls art style to me.
5.) Stray Dogs by: Tony Fleecs
Stray Dogs, written by Tony Fleecs and illustrated by Trish Forstner follows a group of canine friends that wouldn't be out of place in a G-rated movie. But instead of discovering the power of friendship, they use their limited detective skills to uncover that their new owner is, in fact, a serial killer. Stray Dogs, is a strange mix of a cute Disney movie, meets "Silence of the Lambs." The overarching mystery pulled me in instantly, and the hits keep coming.
6.) I Kill Giants by: Joe Kelly
I Kill Giants is the story of a loner at school escaping into a fantasy world. But all is not as it seems with Barbara, and Barbara is not what they think she seems to the children at school that torment her, her family, or her only friend. Because Barbara has a secret: She kills Giants.
The art was sketchy, and simplistic, but charming.I liked the simple main character design. Which remained distinct, while also not trying too hard to be quirky.

cheating is complete disregard to someone else. And if you aren't ready to commit not just to the title of "having a relationship", but to another person... Then you have no business being in one. I'm mostly reflecting on this topic, because I know someone who is currently being cheated on.
Cheating is not the lack of thought, or giving into basic instincts in the heat of the moment, with lack of better judgement.
It's an act of disrespect and disregard. Summed up perfectly by the YouTuber: Kennie J.D.
