Closer by Denis Cooper is a pretty gross 200 page novel. It's pretty depressing and sexual with an uncomfortable amount of scat stuff.

We never really brought up Dennis Cooper, did we? Frisk is his seminal novel on sexual depravity. I've yet to get to it, sadly.

All I Need is Love AKA Kinski Uncut. The autobiography of Klaus Kinski. A highly fictitious tome but a peak inside the madman's mind. Especially his sexual manias including fingering his sister, fucking his mother as the bombs fell during WW 2 and his many co-stars. Not so much disturbing until you find out how he raped his first daughter Pola multiple times, how he attempted to rape his 2nd daughter Nastajja, and this scene from Cobra Verde takes on an entirely different context and you fully understand why Herzog wished he had cut it and wanted to murder Klaus.

That's not a rhetorical exaggeration either. He literally wanted to murder him on more than one occasion, once pulling a gun on him, and once getting interrupted while trying to burn his house down. He isn't the only person who ever wanted to murder Klaus Kinski, either. More or less everyone who dealt with this guy wanted to kill him at one point or another.

He wanted to firebomb his home with Molotov's but realized he needed him for more scenes.
Klaus was a brilliant actor when playing a mad man but he was a real sonofabitch.

Here's a PDF of Kinski Uncut because the paperback goes for about $50 last I checked. Keep in mind that it's highly fictitious but interesting to say the least.
(This is a mild rant of his)
I assume @AnOminous was referring to this gem:
He bragged on multiple sets about raping his daughters and trying to fuck every female on set while saying that he was Nosferatu.

Reading through 120 days felt like reading a porngrind album.
Now that i think about it, books with the theme of human trafficking can fuck you up more than most fictional violence.

If you watch Herzog's documentary on their relationship he details how Klaus became so enraged he nearly killed several extras.
Once during filming he slammed a sword on a guy's head and would have killed him had the extra not worn a helmet.
Another time the extras were making too much noise in a hut and Klaus fired several shots into the hut and managed to shoot off a guy's finger tip.
Another anecdote Herzog recalls in his diary Conquest of the Useless (written during the filming of Fitzcaralldo) he detailed how Klaus beat his 3rd wife at the hotel and the walls were covered in her blood.

I love crazy books, here are the books that managed on my top 5 : The painted bird, Last exit to brooklyn, Naked lunch, Perfume and The wasp factory...
1. The Painted Bird, best “fvcked up” book I have read so far, read it in one sitting cause the writing is beautiful. you will be inside a kid’s mind who suffered from the holocaust.
2. Last Exit to Brooklyn is a one dirty book! This book is incredible for me, because I found myself rooting for the main characters even if they are so flawed and beyond saving...
3. Naked lunch is really funny and inappropriate. but kinda trippy, it’s from a junky’s POV so it makes sense that some parts dont make sense (lol). lots of drugs, shit, ped0 scenes, murders...
4, Perfume’s writing is very straight forward and easy, the plot is very odd and refreshing.
5. The wasp factory has a lot of “oh shit” moments, never boring and an easy read too.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
Don't buy the digital, do NOT BUY THE DIGITAL. Buy the physical copy, preferably one that is used or read, it will make the tone/feel of the book more real.
It is a book within a book within a book. The meta is deep, the hallways are ever growing, and the riddles abound. There are things that are in this book that having a digital copy does not work and wrecks the experience. Go in knowing NOTHING about this book and read it, THEN when you are done go look up the lore and back ground info.
It is one of those books that I read, put on the shelf, will never read again, but tell everyone to buy a copy or read mine. The more it's read and returned the better the book stays true to it's 'root'.
Also, DO NOT BUY A DIGITAL COPY.
PS: I just dropped $200 on books that were recommended in this thread.
The two I chose not to purchase after reading more of the synopsis were "Hogg" and "Cows". I have a line in the sand of material that I choose not to read (bestiality and pedophilia) about as I feel disgusted by these depictions and not in a "Thought Provoking" uncomfortable way.

You got off easy. I looked up one (one!) fucked up cartoon from the other thread last fall and burned about $4'000 so far.

Unless it's a signed first edition no way in hell. I've dropped some small fortunes on books that were rare/signed and still read them...albeit carefully.
I guess starting today I'm going to be diving into some Asian horror stories...let's see how the Lands of the East differ in writing than those of the US. I'll be sure to wear my Ringu shirt...

I always try to recommend Supervert to anyone interested in philosophy or into fucked up shit and/or has a dark sense of humor (or all of the above). His 3rd book is free as well.

I read Hotel Iris by Yoko Ogawa a few months ago and that's easily one of the strangest books I've ever read. She writes a lot of weird stuff to say the least but this was far beyond my comfort level. I wish I had a picture of my face after I finished the last page, it felt like an expression I'd never made before lol and I've never been able to outright recommend it to anyone because I don't know what I'd say about it. I didn't really "enjoy" it but it was certainly worth my time

Props for someone finally mentioning Dennis Cooper, who is quite underrated. Samuel Delaney is a wonderful author, and although "Hogg" is one of his most extreme works, "Dhalgren" is a mindfuck trippy book as well. He's legendary. Chucky P and Bret Easton Ellis are two of the most frustrating authors to me, as some of their books stand out far more than others, and I don't think either is as special as they're made out to be, but maybe I'm just a snob. Nice to see people remember Poppy Z Brite's works as well, he'll always have a special place in my heart for "Exquisite Corpse".
"Feast of Snakes" - Harry Crewes
Very dark, somewhat bleak hillbilly adventure into a web of domestic violence, snakes (of course) and depression. The first time I read it was like being smacked in the face. It's not particularly "extreme" like some of the others mentioned in this thread, but Crewes is a master at setting a scene and making you...feel the grime. The former football hero of a small town returns, and drama unfolds when he sees what has become of a girl he once loved. This is one of his best books, imo.
"Cruddy" - Lynda Barry
Illustrated novel with excellent creepy charcoal drawings. Set in the 70s, an admittedly rough and ugly-looking teenage girl starts high school. She makes a few very strange, kind of gross friends, and while going on an acid trip with them, she weaves in her memories of her childhood. This childhood, however, was anything but normal, as a huge chunk of it was spent on a nightmarish and drunk roadtrip with her murderous father. There's a lot of funny moments as well, particularly involving her weird ass friend Vicky (who smells like burning rubber and "pretty candy"). During the roadtrip, her father raises/treats her as a boy. They rob and murder when he deems necessary, drink fuck tons of whisky, and meet lots of disgusting (and realistic) people. I don't want to give anymore away because this really is a headfuck book that you can absorb quickly and it's far more effective if you don't know too much.
"Sarah" - JT Leroy (who is not a real person, aka Laura Albert)
[Ok so seriously, fuck Laura Albert, she's a horrible manipulative liar and this was once promoted as being based on real life, but it's all made up. Nevertheless, it's very well written a worth a read. ]
This is a companion book to "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things", which is also worth a read. "Sarah" introduces us to a young boy whose mother is a lot lizard (hooker) at various truckstops, beginning in West Virginia. Sarah (the mother) is known for being quite beautiful and sought-after, but also completely insane. Her son idolizes her and wants to be just like her, so he starts crossdressing and calling himself Cherry Vanilla. Both travel and live a transient, volatile lifestyle, and eventually end up in a somewhat competitive relationship. It's super fucked up. "The Heart" is also well-written but I think it's best to read both, especially without watching the film first (although it's pretty good too).
"Skin" - Kathe Koja
This is a weird one, and somewhat obscure. I wish she would've made more books. Basically a bunch of artists come together to form a cult based on piercings/body modification extremism, it's quite...visceral. I lost my copy and have been unable to replace it, so my memory is a bit fuzzy cuz I haven't read this since high school. It came out during a time when having a tongue piercing wasn't really even trendy yet, it meant you were a kinky fuck. I love the descriptions of the one artist's process for making metal sculptures, that scene is very memorable. Bibi (one of the cultists) is also memorable for her "process" of becoming a blood-and-shit-matted jibbering freak.
No love for my dream boyfren Clive Barker? The books "hellraiser" is based on is a good place to start, but I think everything he's written is excellent.
I tried to pick things people hadn't mentioned yet. I'm so glad others are fans of The Consumer (I feel Michael Gira is a better author than musician, I wish he'd made more books and stories as well). Lots of good suggestions in here!
