Oh goody - dark and funny, just my favourite type of
book.
I'll third the suggestions for Ken Bruen. His books make you
feel as though you shouldn't be laughing, but you just have
to. Also Charles Willeford, Daniel Woodrell (does that make
me weird?)Jim Thompson (yes, OK, it's official - I'm weird),
Charlie Stella, Allan Guthrie, Robert Ferrigno, Joe Lansdale
(especially the Hap and Leonard series). Ray Banks' THE BIG
BLIND is deliciously warped. James McKimmey's SQUEEZE PLAY
had some great comic moments. David Bowker, Victor Gischler
of course. Jason Starr often has some great sly touches of
humour. Richard S Prather, Simon Kernick and Sean Doolittle.
Different degrees of hard-boiled and different degrees of
funny
For more comic, but still dark in some ways - Charlie
Williams, Mark Haskell Smith's MOIST, Bill Fitzhugh.
I'll stop there. I'm getting carried away.
