Catastrophe erupted, it was the end of the world.
Survivors were surrounded by the impregnable wall, a new order was established...

The virus wreaked havoc, were these humans' true colors?

Her dad's a demon.
And she just wants to be ordinary.
I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me.
Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds.

Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic.
If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

I think 'The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon is a top dark comedy novel. It has a complex plot filled with strange characters and situations that are both dark and humorous. Then there's 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut. With its unique narrative style, it shows the horrors of war while also injecting a lot of dark humor. 'Good Omens' by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is also excellent. It's about the end of the world but told in a very funny and dark way with angels and demons as the main characters.
Dark comedy in novels often works by highlighting the absurdity of a situation. For example, in 'Catch - 22', the military rules and regulations are so convoluted that they become absurd and humorous in a dark way. It makes the reader both laugh and feel a bit uncomfortable at the same time.
One classic is 'Catch - 22' by Joseph Heller. It's set during World War II and uses dark humor to expose the absurdity of war and military bureaucracy. Another is 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut. It has elements of science - fiction and dark comedy while dealing with the horrors of war. 'A Confederacy of Dunces' by John Kennedy Toole is also a great one. It features a rather odd and comical main character in a setting full of idiosyncrasies.
Well, one characteristic is the use of the absurd. Things happen that defy normal logic, like in 'The Metamorphosis' where a man turns into an insect for no logical reason. Another is dark humor, often making light of serious or disturbing situations. For example, in 'Catch - 22', the bureaucracy and insanity of war are mocked through humor. Also, there's often a sense of the dreamlike or otherworldly, creating a surreal atmosphere that makes the reader question what's real and what's not.
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a brilliant dark comedy. It combines the apocalypse with a lot of humor. The angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, who have grown rather fond of Earth and its humans, try to stop the end of the world. The book is full of witty dialogues, absurd situations, and a unique take on the battle between good and evil.
One popular dark comedy graphic novel is 'Preacher'. It combines elements of the supernatural, dark humor, and complex characters. The story follows a preacher who becomes possessed by a powerful entity and goes on a wild journey. Another is 'The Boys' which offers a satirical take on superheroes, with lots of dark and edgy humor. And 'Transmetropolitan' is also well - known, it's set in a future world and is filled with biting social commentary and dark comedic moments.
Well, Grant Morrison has written some works with dark comedy aspects. His take on superheroes in some of his works has a touch of the dark and comical. Warren Ellis is also important. He's known for works like 'Transmetropolitan' which is full of biting satire and dark humor. And then there's Jeff Lemire who has created some graphic novels with a bit of a dark comedic edge, like 'Essex County' which has some wry humor in its small - town stories.
They often have dysfunctional family relationships at the core. For example, in many such novels, family members may be in constant conflict or have strange power dynamics.
Here are some recommendations for the completed dark comedy novels:
1. " The Destruction of Diablo ": This novel is a funny dark themed work that tells the adventure story of a character in the game.
2. [Xyrin Empire: This novel is also a funny dark themed work. It mainly tells the rise and fall of an empire and various strange events.]
3. " Red Blood Dragon Rider ": This is a dark and funny novel. It tells the adventure story of a dragon knight. It is full of funny and dark elements.
4. " Demon King's Divine Control ": This novel is a dark and funny work. It mainly tells the daily life and adventure stories of a demon king and his subordinates.
5. " Brave Beauty ": This is a dark and funny novel. It tells the adventure story of a brave man and his beautiful companions. It is full of funny and dark elements.
I hope that the novels recommended above can meet your needs.
