A fatal drink-driving incident might not seem like an obvious premise for a comic novel, but the author makes a lighthearted read of the supernatural consequences

Spirit Level by Richy Craven: A winningly daft comic novel with more than enough laughs to keep the pages turning

In his debut novel, Richy Craven does not quite reach the dizzy heights of these writers, but he makes a decent stab at it. His protagonist is twentysomething Danny Hook, an assistant manager at a convenience store, whose romantic and professional lives are equally unfulfilling. After a night out at a party, he unwisely gets into a car with his drunken best friend, Nudge, and they end up at the bottom of the Grand Canal, with only one of them making it out alive.
