Best fucked up books

[Lokenstien]

Most likely because he's in England and they have actual censorship laws. Plus it creates a myth that was very plausible and sounded real.

I forgot that England has obscenity laws, a shame really. I've been finishing up Naked Lunch recently which has given me reason to read a bit about it's place in breaking down the U.S's own obscenity laws.

probably not what people are looking for but the Complete Manual of Suicide is pretty messed up. Its a nonfiction Japanese book that rates methods of suicide on pain, effort, how your corpse looks, convenience to others, impact, and how deadly it is. I guess its more concerning that anything

Final Exit by Derek Humphry is probably the best of the suicide manuals.

Thanks, ive never head of that one. Seems intresting

Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll drop some of my own.

We Spread by Iain Reid
An elderly widow is succumbing to dementia and moves into a care facility. As her physical and mental health continue to deteriorate, events begin to take a darker and darker turn. The book is perhaps more depressing than fucked up, but I guess it depends on how you view all that happens within the story.

Dead Inside by Chandler Morrison
This book was one of my earlier ventures into the splatterpunk/extreme horror genre. A man works in a hospital where he engages in necrophilia with the corpses stored in the morgue. He meets a woman, a coworker, and discovers that she eats dead babies. The two become something of a couple as they engage in more and more deranged activities as the story unfolds.

His Pain by Wrath James White
A mother and father have a child, a son, who lives his life experiences nothing but agonizing pain at the slightest touch, and requires almost complete darkness due to his hypersensitivity to light. His room is essentially a makeshift cocoon and he is unable to leave it. Eventually, his parents discover a sort of guru, and they beg this man to help their son cope with his condition. What follows is the guru leading their son down a path of extreme sadism and sadomasochism, as he begins to associate pain with pleasure as the depravity escalates to greater and greater heights.

Last Days by Brian Evenson
Also known as The Brotherhood of Mutilation, this book follows the story of Kline, a detective. He is a broken shell of man, due to having amputated one of his hands in order to survive nearly being killed by a psycho he was investigating on his last case. As the days bleed into one another in his depressive haze, Kline begins receiving strange phone calls from two men urging him to investigate a murder that has has taken place. He refuses, and is eventually kidnapped by the two men and taken to the location of a compound where other people with various mutilations and disfigurements live. It is revealed to Kline that these people are cultist, believing that self-mutilation brings them closer to enlightenment. Events quickly begin to spiral out of control as Kline finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the cult's machinations.

My words don't really do these books justice, but maybe they piqued enough of your interest to check a few of them out.

Mountainhead by New Juche. Considered by a few reviewers to be a modern day Michael Gira. Mountainhead possess lyrical prose in conjunction with fucked up scenarios. Currently I'm on the first story involving a man who enjoys masturbating to dwarves and middle-age natives.

Also, what's Gladiator by Korie Massey @Lokenstien

I cannot seem to find that

Thank you for catching that. It would appear I pulled that from this post where the user confused the name and I in haste did not double check. It should be Berserker and is part of the authors Forsaken world series.

While I'm here there is a curious little book mystery that I would like to share. I was sleuthing around the other day when I came across this particularly janky website used for collecting brief info on topics used in those trendy iceberg lists such as conspiracies or lost media. Clicking on the book tab led to this page about a lost digital book titled "A Journal From Hell" by Alceste Esseintes. The page essentially describes how it was self-published in 2016 but the author took it down and disappeared off the web pretty soon after. There is link to a Google Reads page for the author that actually has two books listed both of which features a single no comment five-star review. There was a corresponding YouTube channel that the author also nuked which was apparently archived and linked on the iceberg site with mega file download link that I have not clicked or downloaded so I'm unsure of what's in there. There is little other information online about who this was or what the book actually contains, with some old 4chan threads and reddit posts having popped a couple of years ago (presumably by the same person who made the iceberg entry as they both have the same Google Reads and video archive links) looking for the lost book. These give some extra details like describing the author as a “deeply pessimistic schizophrenic, antinatalist, extremely isolated individual dabbling with occultism and satanism". That's mostly what I could find and by the looks of it may very well be truly lost. I'll leave you with this piece of music from the deleted Alceste Esseintes YouTube channel that was posted, unlisted, on the icebergs channel:

P.S, I recently bought two physical copies of Supervert books: Apocalypse Burlesque and Music for Erotomaniacs. I have started reading the former and it's been quite a ride. I might end up doing a separate post to talk about them since they're certainly unique among the disturbed books I’ve heard about and read.

Apocalypse Burlesque has one of my favorite bits where -through the miracle of technology- a couple is able to share a pregnancy where the baby is cut in half and each half is shared by their parent in their (aritificial) womb. The husband hates the feeling of it inside and people staring at him so he uses a coat hanger, only problem is that the wife wants to keep her half and he ends up raising a half-baby.

I read that one recently and liked it since it's been one of more surreal and horrifying stories so far as opposed to gross and bizarre. So far I'm not sure I have a favorite story or bit though I do feel the first story, Bosch Awards, set the stage well for what to expect throughout the book. I do, however, keep getting this wicked sense of irony from reading bits that are suppose to be satirical in the ridiculous levels of perversion, only to remember that I have read about real life individuals documented here on the Farms doing those exact things. It almost makes me wonder if Supervert has spent some time lurking here to get ideas.

You’re talking like Gira’s dead, when that lazy fuck just won’t write or reprint his books so I can buy a physical copy

 

[SofondaCox]

The Laws of the Skies by Grégoire Courtois; it's a French novel where a camping trip goes horribly wrong and a bunch of kids get demolished in a disaster domino of calamity. Generally a bleak read though there were parts that, I don't know if it was the translator's fault, but ended being so purple prose it ruined the narrative.

​

Six year olds aren’t remotely capable of the dialogue, the forethought, the actions of Grégoire‘s characters. It was a brutal book, and well written, if you can suspend disbelief sufficiently. Alas, I’ve known too many six year olds.

Have just finished Brian Evenson’s newest, Father of Lies.
Should be required reading for every budding writer. He has created a devastating and compelling piece from repellent subject matter. Evenson has such perfect tone and pace for his grim, anhedonic prose. You will not regret time spent on his works.

Blood Meridian, definitely, but also a couple of Roald Dahl ones, not including Tales of the Unexpected, specifically, it's about the ones geared towards kids:

1.) The Witches has chapter in it where the Grand High Witch is having a board meeting with England's MISERABLE, STUPID VITCHES, and one of the STUPID VITCHES opens her gob, and questions how they can wipe out all the kids in England. Not sure why GHW can't be arsed with the whole of Great Britain, but er, maybe she was going to move on to Wales next, as I think the hotel they were at was somewhere in the South, but getting off-track, she gets burned to death with, I quote, "Sparks that burrow into her", and the narrator/boy is hiding the entire time, and describes what he saw.

And 2.) The Twits. To cut to the chase, ugly, grimy fuckers, Mr and Mrs Twit have been training a family of monkeys to stand on their heads, and they get their own back by gluing everything in the house onto the ceiling, in its exact same place, so it's "mirrored." As the couple walk in, a bird "shits" on their heads, but... it's *glue*, and, thinking they're upside down, they stand on their heads, and get stuck. They're stuck for so long, that their neck muscles give way and collapse, and they start shrinking into their bodies, until they definitely die. The postman comes 'round, realises they're gone for good, and rejoices. It can be assumed 100% that the neighbourhood rejoices, also, especially since they abused animals, bought guns to shoot at pets, twittery birds that live in trees, and Mr Twit even tried to murder and eat three boys who got stuck in his tree, because he wanted Bird Pie, but there weren't any, so he decided to settle for Boy Pie. They escaped, so you know.

I used to have bad impressions on Noushintou Hoshi before, but I gave her a chance because I love her artwork and needless to say it's my favorite out of the Yaoi genre because it reminds me so much of Requiem for a Dream. It's English title for the book I am mentioning is "Even if I can no longer use magic". I also bought a T-shirt from her because it's so cute. I know this sounds autistic and I'm not so huge on the Yaoi genre but this is a unique case to me.

If you go fucked up might as well go all the way.

Though it makes me wonder which fucker up books are so because the author exaggerated the story, and which are fucked up because the author is just a fucked up person.

For maximum effect, it always seems to be the later.

I can't remember if I heard about this book from this thread so wanted to ask just in case. I think the setting was contemporary dystopic and the main character was a detective or retired cop. His girlfriend was from an insect race with big ant heads and she made sculptures with her colorful spit. Does this sound familiar to anyone

“Perdido Street Station” by China Miéville, the first in the Bas Lag series. Not fucked up, but great stuff

I'm not into Manga, but I've been meaning to get into some Junji Ito.

I'm not into Manga, but I've been meaning to get into some Junji Ito.

Junji Ito is pretty much one of the only manga artists I like but I also haven't explored much manga/anime outside of him. That said Viz Media has been releasing translated versions of his work for a while in high quality hard cover anthologies. His adaption of No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is probably one of his best since there's a lot more depth to the story and characters than his usual monster shock shtick. I've been thinking of doing a compare and contrast of the two but I'm not sure I'm ready to be that emotionally devasted quite yet.
