Pretty much anything Michael Slade. Its so gory and so realistic that I almost lost my lunch at one point.
I'm surprised anyone else has read that but yeah that's a pretty weird story.Kimarous said:
Black Cat by Edgar Allen Poe always makes me sad because I love cats.
I'd actually have to say "Wicked." I read that book because I loved the musical and had to stop, it was so gross and descriptive that I couldn't keep reading. I was also very young and innocent.
so would you recomend them to non-squemish people?miracleofsound said:
OT: the first time i read the spooks aprentice i was 6, i got to a bit where nothing bad was happening and then i got a feeling of horror, less real fear more a sence of terifying suspense and a feeling of underlying wrongness with the plot, read it again 5 years later, found it to be good and the rest of the seires to be earth shattering
I'll sum it up with one name. Steven King. I read one book, I couldn't sleep for a week. It was scary as hell. King is one hell of a writer. Also, I read the Twilight series, my gal friends pressured me into it.
STEPHANIE MEYER! YOU ARE A MEDIOCRE WRITER. PLEASE STOP WRITING! ALSO, GO TEAM JACOB!!!!
Did you know, Steven King also shares that opinion (at least the mediocre part)?

I never understood why everyone thought Stephen King was fucked up in the head.... and then I read "IT". I bow to the master of Hell.
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty.
There is some messed up crap in that book. Ends on a happy note too!
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
Describes just how we (Americans) treated immigrants back in the day. Hopefully we've improved a little.

House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielzski(sp?). Explanation follows.
This guy buys a house and finds out that its bigger on the inside than the outside. Then out of nowhere, There's a hallway where there was no hallway before. Then a door appears within the hallway. The door leads to something truly awful.
The above passage is a summary of "The Navidson Record". Johnny Truant is a tattoo artist who discovers that his upstairs neighbor, Zampano, has died. While going though his stuff, Johnny finds a detailed analysis of The Navidson Record, called House of Leaves. There's just one problem.
Zampano is blind.

Having a tremendous fear of razor blades reading "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" where immensly disturbing.
Even if it wasen't disturbing for me, random quoting of Ulysses drove my friend crazy with all it's brilliant language.

American Psycho is a horrendous book, but not disturbing, its 90% crass and 10% stomach turning filth. I personally couldnt place a 'most disturbing book' which i've read, though The Wasp Factory does spring to mind..
[edit] though i must admit, the chapter 'Bethany' in American Psycho did make me physically retch

*Ba-dum, tish*
Hope no one ninja'd me.
Anyways, I've never really been bothered by a book before.

I'd narrow it down to about three, the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales since I was only seven, the Tommyknockers because of some very uncomfortably placed tentacles, and the original book version of the Ring. You find out that
I am not kidding.
The girl has a vagina, and a pair of testicles
I'm extremely tempted to say Twiltight, but if I did, then I'd be no better than this @$$hole here:
But, in all honesty, I'd have to say The Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer. The way it describes how far our society has fallen in the future is quite scary, and some of the other descriptions are pretty gruesome, as well.

I'm sure that's not what you intended to happen but I'm still not gonna risk it.
