I love this subgenre when it's done right đââïž Also, I'd have a couple of recs!
-The Bunny sequel We Love You, Bunny is also funny -Walking practice by Dolki Min is probably the funniest horror book I've read -For a YA pick, Hello Sunshine by Keezy Young uses humour often to bring down the tension
Fantastic recs!! Thank you!!!
(and "when it's done right" is so key, ahaha--humour's such a personal thing)
I love this genre! I am taking notes đ
If you have any suggestions for what to add, let me know!
I think Junji Ito's Cat Diary would fit! Not really a horror story but his art style is definitely horror, he draws his cats in a very uncanny way đ€
Oh, I love Cat Diary!
I agree that I'm unsure whether it would count as horror (but definitely his art style kind of nudges everything into that space, ahaha)
Haha exactly đ
