I’m looking for genuinely obscure weird lit, transgressive fiction, not the same handful of books that show up in every thread.
I’ve already read (or have on my TBR): Lapvona, Earthlings, A Little Life, The Eyes Are the Best Part, plenty of Chuck Palahniuk, Murakami, and all things similar. If it’s heavily recommended on Reddit, chances are I’ve encountered it.
Trigger warnings aren’t an issue for me. The darker, stranger, or more uncomfortable, the better. I’m interested in books that feel off, experimental, grotesque, unsettling, or just plain wrong. Bonus points if you rarely see them mentioned.
Basically: what’s the book you don’t usually recommend because it’s too weird, too bleak, or too much for most people?
Edit: you all are wonderful and have given me tons of books to find. Thank you so much for all the titles I haven’t heard of 💗 happy reading!
