Item Dark Humor Thesis(MFA in Creative Writing, The University of Tampa, 2014-01) Garbatini, MatthewThere is humor in everything. Not necessarily “ha ha” humor, but humor nonetheless. My topics of interest all derive from this theory. The mere absurdity of my characters and their situations are what make my stories entertaining. I consider myself to be a dark humorist, not to be confused with black humorists, who I have come to learn are completely different. Though I may write about the most taboo of topics, I do so in a way that touches on them from a comedic standpoint. Instead of just pointing out the drudgeries of life I choose to celebrate them. Dark humor is just that. It is dark. But what most people fail to realize is that even in darkness there is light. It is when you go black that you turn off that light completely.
