I put American Psycho in the local “Friends of Library” donation box after finishing it. Maybe I’m a wuss but it disturbed me enough that I wanted it outta my house.

Lovely Bones is a very disturbing book. A Little Life also a slog through torment.

The short story Guts by Chuck Palahniuk goes pretty hardcore. It’s DEEPLY disturbing in a very body horror, visceral kind of way. Fair warning.

**The Wasp Factory** by *Iain Banks.* It’s about teenager Frank Cauldhame, living an isolated existence on a remote Scottish island, whose life is dominated by bizarre rituals and rules.

Earthlings by Sayaka Murata. I would highly recommend looking at content warnings before reading it if you think you might be triggered by any type of sensitive topic

Blood Meridian was pretty dark. Lot of descriptions about people being scalped.

“A Child Called It” is heartbreaking and a true story. Trigger Warning: Severe child neglect and abuse.

Tampa by Alissa Nutting isn’t exactly the MOST disturbing book ever, but it’s certainly one of the most audacious I’ve read and I’d be shocked to see anybody reading it in public.
Also I can’t even pick up an Ania Ahlborn. The plot summaries alone are nightmare fuel.

I like “Devil in the White City” because it’s reality, not fiction.
