Check out The Cement Garden. I just finished it and it’s super dark! Found out about it on here actually.
Also check out Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr. One of my favorites. Not horror but definitely the darkest book I’ve read. And I love dark shit.

– I find Stephen King pretty fucked up. Nightshift is my favorite of his books, “The Last Rung on the Ladder” being one of the most beautiful yet disturbing short stories I’ve read.
– Ham on Rye, Factotum and Love is a dog from hell, by Bukowski, are great books for messed up people.
“the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and them men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but they keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.
there’s no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.
nobody ever finds
the one.
the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill
nothing else
fills.” (alone with everybody – bukowski)
– Christiane F. Autobiography of a Girl of the Streets and Heroin Addict – by Christians F. A classic for a reason.
Last, but not least:
– Hell by Lolita Pille.
Delightfully fucked up and twisted, even better knowing it was mostly based om her real life and she got “cancelled” by friends and family for airing the dirt, becoming a persona non grata around the high Parisian circles.
