Mine is from a selection of short stories (the book was called the Cold hand of Betrayal), but basicly it discribes in great detail someones face being pounded to a pulp

Well I'd go with Steven Erikson- Deadhouse gates. I don't really want to spoil the book because its so amazing but its a complete mindf*ck. Theres a lot of crucifiction and people being pelted with parts of other people combined with systematic soul destruction. I'd love to go in depth but i don't want to ruin it for anyone. If you like fantasy books, read Erikson
*Edit* forgot to add the Tenescowri in memories of ice. Several hundred thousand deliberately starved peasants who resort to cannibalism and with women who believe in taking the seed of dying men..thats right these crazed savage women rape men as they die...lovely.

You need to read Cormac Mcarthy's Blood Meridian. When he describes the slaughter, rape and fucking SCALPING of Native Americans, Mexicans and Americans... it get quite graphic.
Fantastic book.

If comic books/manga are allowed just about the last few chapters/parts of 'The Slavers' from Punisher MAX are verry violent and graphic, so violent that in a later issue Frank (the Punisher)himself is unsettled by his actions
Actually, just most of Haunted. Possibly the scariest book I've ever read, purely because of what it says about human nature. Although Guts isn't violent, per se. Just somewhat graphically gory, and highly unpleasant to read if you have the barest vestige of an imagination left.Haagrum said:
OT: Let the Right One In
where Hakan, as a blood crazed vampire, attempts to rape Eli, after first tearing the tendons is his/her/its legs to prevent escape. 'Twas reasonably violent

Ooh, I'd forgotten about that... Salem's Lot has its moments too.
Or I could combine the 2
At the beginning of the 6th book, (I think) where Callahan is torn apart by various servants of the Crimson King, before shooting himself to get it over with more quickly; all the while, Roland's ka-tet are all experiencing this psychically
Ben Richards's death in The Running Man. He's being flown back to the Games Headquarters on a plane with some government agents, and he decides he's pissed off and starts killing them all. He starts by bashing one agent over the skull with a heavy glass coffee jar, then takes his gun and shoots another agent in the upper lip, spraying bits of skull and brain and teeth everywhere. He shoots the pilot, and is then himself shot twice by a third agent, once in the gut. Ben blows off that last guy's face and then helps a stewardess jump out of the plane with a parachute.
He's walking towards the front cabin and his guts start spilling out, and he's grabbing them trying to hold them in. The pain gets to be so much that he can just barely crawl. At one point his lower intestine gets looped around something and he tugs on it trying to get to the pilot's control panel. By the time he gets to the joystick he only has sight in one eye and can barely move.
He starts taking the plane down and smashes it into the skyscraper that the Games Network is centered in. It blows up and rains down fire and debris for twenty blocks all around.
Most awesome death ever.

Poppy Z. Brite. Her early stuff is extremely violent. Particularly Exquisite Corpse. She writes well though, and Lost Souls is one of the best vampire books involving teens I have ever read. It's right up there with Let the Right One In for me. But keep in mind, it's dark, dark stuff.
Firefly by Michael Stackpole. A monster induces uncontrollable lust and than sucks out your innards through you penis (Or vagina, if you're female).
The descriptions can get... gross.
Dante's Inferno has some pretty graphic text, describing the torture of the damned.

QFT, pretty much everything by Black Library is very violent, but Abnett more so than most. Especially the tanks with human skins nailed to them.Layz92 said:
