Bunny Munroe? I'm interested in that, A) Because I've just bought his new album and it's incredible, and B) Because I live in Brighton... and we just love it when fiction is set where we live!Furburt said:
Is it worth a read?
Masque Of The Red Death is pretty freaky. I haven't read much horror liturate other than that. I needs to read me some Lovecraft or something.
House [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves] of Leaves. Hands down. The thing I like so much about it is that it really affects you: we're not talking about scary-monster/grotesque descriptions here, we're talking about something that imprints itself upon your brain, and subtlely changes the way you fucking think.
For more than a year after reading that book, I was still thinking about it.

Well, i think Isaac Death is a regular "I'm a atheist troll, i can HAZ ATTENTION?" but i suppose on the other hand he could be a very intelligent person if he explained his points. I'm Christian and i think the Bible is a little disturbing, even when not taken out of context. The "loving God" that i believe created everything ordered babies heads smashed against rocks? Nations destroyed? and passages along the lines of "If your eyes cause you to sin it is better to gouge them out and live in heaven than continue to sin" If God is that hardcore there are a lot of people (including myself, seeing as how i like my eyes right where they are) are not making it into heaven.Issac Death said:Nothing was edgy about my contribution. But look: the Bible made you say something silly. Now, what did I say about influence?lacktheknack said:

Yes, Yes you do. I recommend At the Mountains of Madness. Color Out of Space is good as well.Erja_Perttu said:
That was very good. Harlan Ellison is awesome. If you like him, Philip K. Dick is good too, especially his short story Faith of Our Fathers.ECasThat said:
World War Z here, I haven't read many disturbing books, but WWZ send a severe chill down my spine more than once. Especially the Great Panic part, people all fleeing to nowhere, just fleeing, but ending up in more trouble than they fled from.
The most notable part is where they describe a horse trailer rocking violently. That's all the details you'll get, your fantasy does the rest...

Never developed a taste for American adult literature, so "A Series of Unfortunate Events" is the most twisted not-a-Jhonen-Vasquez-comic book I've read. It's about a guy hell-bent on murdering 3 orphans & successfully kills anyone who addopts them. There is no happy ending. This is pretty grim shit for kids to be reading. The writer must have been a big Edgar Allen Poe fan.
Rimigra, Zetsuai/Bronze & Kaze to Ki no Uta would qualify as the most adult disturbing things I've ever read, but I'm not in the least bit disturbed by them, because it's the endless amount of taboos stacked on top of eachother that make them so appealing. All I know is that they're controversial enough that no American publisher is willing to translate them.
& that bible thing is disturbing. I tried reading it in highschool.
