Hey reddit i'm having trouble finding any books that are weird in the way reddit stories often are. I love looking over am I the asshole posts alongside petty revenge, am I the ex, etc. Basically any post where the content is crazy dramatic in a way that you wouldn't ever expect. I know there are a lot of stories that have revenge, crazy exes or horrible in laws but I find that they usually feel very one note and the story tends to treat them quite seriously. I really just want crazy over the top drama that is less harmful than it is downright bizarre. If anyone has any stories like this (short stories comics and manga included) I'd love to know. I'm a huge fan of anything campy and over the top especially when it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Frida McFadden chomps out quick read thrillers that remind me of Reddit. My favorite is Dead Med, but there’s The Tenant that gives good relationship drama. The Housemaid is what put her on the map.
Maybe *The Basic Eight* by Daniel Handler. Teen high school drama that goes in every wild direction as I recall it. But it’s been decades since I read it, so I don’t really recall that much. Except for absinthe and some identity confusion. Daniel Handler later wrote some other books as Lemony Snicket.
