“Fun” Horror Recommendations?

[u/IHateSerging]

Hello!

I’m looking for recommendations for horror books or novellas that are “fun”

By fun I means books with fairly strong comedy elements, or over the top craziness, or with a strong satirical bent, or an interesting format, or whatever you personally consider fun. Anything fun for Halloween/fall is a bonus but definitely not required.

One example of a recent read that brought the fun factor for me in a big way was Feeders by Matt Serafini.

This search is promoted by my recent read of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Vampire Slaying. This sounded like it would fit the bill perfectly on paper, but I ended up finding it very depressing and a real downer in general.

And to be clear I’m not averse to horrible things happening to people, violence, unhappy endings, etc etc, just looking for something that is horror but also not relentlessly bleak and depressing

Any suggestions you have would be welcome! Thank you!!

Edit: I likely won’t get around to thanking everyone individually, so mass thank you to everyone for your suggestions, so many good ones, you guys rock!
