I have just started (he's still a teenager) this series and already I'm pretty fond of it. Other people should read it because it's funny.
Other suggestions...
The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem
Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre
Portnoy's Complaint by Phillip Roth
None of these are particularly dark though. I don't know, maybe they are. What do you mean by "dark"? Scary? Gruesome? You won't be "disturbed" by any of these unless you are particularly sensitive. They are great books though. They will make you laugh.
