Hey! I have been looking at books, but none have gripped my eye:

I am a teen, I like Horror mixed with Comedy. Could you recommend some books for me please?

Thanks,

- Ben

Gary Soto is an award winning author of teen books, novels and poetry. He writes about growing up in the Mexican community. A lot of what he writes is funny and a lot of it is serious. He is a very entertaining author.

Terry Pratchett's discworld books are very funny and are full of wizards, witches, vampires, goblins, dwarves and other supernatural creatures. The horror is not too scary, even Death is a bit of a joker.

Stephen King's "IT", because it is about a clown that turns into your biggest fear and then kills you. Also, the characters make alot of witty remarks.

Hi, Ben
Since you like horror and comedy, I will recommend "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess, "One Hand Clapping", also by Burgess and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. All three are dark books; with mixes of humor and irony. If you want a book that will make you laugh out loud, read "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman, it's my favorite book.

When I was a teen, there were two books by Robert Swindells that I found both horrifying and funny at the same time:
1)Room 13 - basically a school trip that turns into a vampire hunt, with some witty remarks;
2)Thousand Eyes of Night - involves a vast amount of white rodents (aliens?), I found it funny they could pile up and resemble a human being or whatever. Sent some shivers down my spine...

I just finished the "Mistborn" series. It was very good.

If you like horror mixed with comedy, you should have seen my marriage. (*I just kill myself sometimes, I'm so droll*)

Seriously, I wish I could think of something you'd like....
