One Bloody Thing After Another by Joey Comeau

Joey Comeau writes one of my favorite webcomics, a softer world. The comic is an odd picture-with-caption comic, but very funny.

As I like to support webcomics when possible, I had this book on my wishlist, and my wife happily picked it up for my birthday.

I did not know it was a horror novel, but it hardly matters because it’s funny enough to just barely be a horror novel. It’s a horror novel in the same sense that the first Dirk Gently book was a horror novel.

I’m saying novel, but I should say novelette. It’s chief problem is that it is terribly short. As in, I read it on my lunchbreak. And had time left over.

So, if you’re looking for a really short, witty and somewhat horrific summer read, this is it.
