The "His Work" section, especially the bit about a "family tree of authors who employed 'black humor' in their works" sounds pretty much like original research / speculation / personal opinion to me. It should be attributed to a critic if it is based on secondary criticism IMO, or a note should be added making the reader aware of the speculative (and possibly inaccurate) nature of the links between these authors. Also the link to Flannery O'Connor should have a footnote.
