I'm looking for books where you can clearly tell that the author wrote them during a difficult time and channeled a lot of raw emotions into their work, but especially rage. So much, that while you read it, you feel like the book itself wants to beat you up.

Anything new Dean Koontz. I feel like he has lost his mind recently and all his political ideologies are forced into whatever genre he is writing.
The Grapes of Wrath read as being pretty pissed off in parts
House of leaves
Against the Country by Ben Metcalf. It’s a screed.
Sympathy For the Devil-Kent Anderson
The author was a member of MAC-V SOG CCN, and tells a fictional story about the experience.
In some places, the anger and grief boil off the page.
*Not* for the faint at heart.
The Outsider by Albert Camus. That guy was seriously pissed off
*The Power* by Naomi Alderman (fiction)
*Resilience is Futile* by Julie S. Lalonde (nonfiction)
Catcher in the rye
HOW TO HEAL THE HURT BY HATING by Anita Liberty
“You are a bad habit. I want to kick you. Hard.”
Molly by Blake Butler. Brutal, largely because he seems not to realize how much he despises her.
