Line 216:
* ''[[World War Z]]'', when two soldiers pick up human infant skulls and put on a small show for their troop. Would be going into [[Dude, Not Funny]] territory if the real subject wasn't about the [[Gallows Humor]] used for coping with... you know... a [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
* [[Clive Barker]]'s Mister B. Gone: Filled with the darkest of humor, as can be expected from Clive Barker. There's a scene where the demon villain protagonist [[Blood Bath|bathes in a tub full of blood from dead babies]]. The townspeople are hot on his trail, since there was a hole in his baby bag, and he left a trail of children, like bread crumbs, on his way back to his hovel. He complains how difficult it was to keep them alive so the bath would be warm when he emptied their blood into the tub.
*
* "It was born, though, that very evening, took one look, according to the Radletts, at its father, and quickly died again" Nancy Mitford, ''Love in a Cold Climate''
* A favorite of [[William S. Burroughs]] in ''[[Naked Lunch]]''. Deranged surgeons, ridiculous murder porn, general mayhem.
