One classic dark humor novel is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It satirizes the absurdity of war and military bureaucracy in a very humorous yet dark way. The situations the characters face are both comical and tragic at the same time.
'Good Omens' by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It's a story about an angel and a demon trying to stop the apocalypse. The humor is dark in places as it plays with religious and apocalyptic concepts, but also has a lot of light - hearted and funny moments as the two characters interact and try to deal with the end of the world in their own, rather bumbling, ways.
Definitely. 'White Noise' by Don DeLillo. It has a lot of dark humor when dealing with topics like death, consumerism, and the modern American family. 'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy can also be considered. Although it's a very violent and dark novel, it has some elements of dark humor in its portrayal of the brutality of the Old West. 'The Day of the Locust' by Nathanael West is a great example too. It satirizes Hollywood and the American Dream with a lot of darkly humorous moments.

Another good one is 'The Black Dahlia' by James Ellroy. It's based on a real - life unsolved murder case. The book delves deep into the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles in the 1940s. The mystery is complex, and the dark elements of the city and the people in it are vividly portrayed.
Sure. 'The Silent Patient' by Alex Michaelides is a great new dark mystery novel. It's about a famous painter who stops speaking after shooting her husband, and a psychotherapist tries to uncover the truth behind her silence.
