Christopher Moore recommends

Social Blunders (1995)
(GroVont Trilogy, book 3)
Tim Sandlin
"Tim Sandlin's stuff is as tight and funny as anyone doing this comedy novel thing."

Foop! (2005)
Chris Genoa
"A surreal pie in the face."

Happy Hour at Casa Dracula (2006)
(Casa Dracula, book 1)
Marta Acosta
"A spicy comedy of manners with fangs."

Vinnie's Head (2007)
Marc Lecard
"For those of us who like our crime writing with a dose of dark humour, Vinnie's Head is the ticket, great characters, pace, style and story. Marc Lecard has chops!"

Captain Freedom (2009)
G Xavier Robillard
"A truly funny and energetic romp of a social satire, a terrific send-up of not only superheroes but the cult of personality in general. I'm just glad to read a book that claims to be funny that's actually funny."

The Loving Dead (2010)
Amelia Beamer
"The Loving Dead is really kind of hot, in a very creepy way. Read it. You know you'd love some sweet zombie sumpin' sumpin'. Buy it bitches! Ride this zombie zeppelin of love like there's no tomorrow."

Apocalypse Cow (2012)
(Apocalypse Cow, book 1)
Michael Logan
"Apocalypse Cow treads that rare path between horrific and hilarious, which makes for a very fun read indeed. Give it a go."

The Overneath (2017)
Peter S Beagle
"Peter Beagle deserves a seat at the table with the great masters of fantasy. If you had any doubts, The Overneath will dispel them."
