Discussion Favorite/recs for disturbing books?

[une vie grotesque]

I want some book recs!! They don't need to be splatterpunk or weird erotica, I just like disturbing books in general. Also, 120 Days of Sodom is incredibly boring please don't reply that. The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches by Gaétan Soucy and Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino are some of my all time faves. Also, I recently read His Pain by Wrath James White, which was an interesting splatterpunk novella.

Infinite Jest is the only disturbing book I like that I don't find to be pointlessly edgy

Tampa by Alissa Nutting. Definitely one of the most disgusting books I've laid my eyes upon. The book isn't outrageously gory or edgy, but the content is definitely not for everyone.
While I haven't finished it, a lot of people recommend The Indifferent Stars Above by Daniel James Brown. This one's non-fiction, compared to Tampa.

That short story by the author of Fight Club is the worst I've ever read, it's called "Guts", if I'm not mistaken.
