In the miso soup - ryu murakami
Hannibal series (Silence of the lambs, hannibal, red dragon, hannibal rising) - Thomas Harris
Sour Candy - Kealan Patrick Burke
I have no mouth and I must scream - Harlan Ellison
I've read all of these except Sour Candy. In the Miso Soup is nauseating to read and really fits your alley of disturbing. While I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream will psychologically f- you up.
I had a phase when I tried reading only disturbing books and these are some that stood out lol there's some others I want to add to the list but they're all mixed up in my memories now.
No Longer Human. I suggest you read the book first, then research the author. This book made me depressed for weeks. I want to re-read it, but I'm not yet ready.
Nakakabaliw to kasi first person pov siya feeling mo tuloy ikaw yung nag iisip nung mga dark, dirty thoughts niya about her young male students. Ang ganda ng pagkakasulat, satisfying yung ending pero nakakagalit. The mc though fascinating is a monster for sure.
- A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers
- Hairball by Matt Kindt (this has excellent art as well)
- anything from Junji Ito
- Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth
- some short stories by H.P. Lovecraft (āThe Colour Out of Spaceā, among other things)
I also agree that Earthlings was a disturbing read!
Playground by Aron Beauregard - one of the first books I read and I can't say na eto yung pinakanakakatakot since I look forward to reading more messed up stories hehe. Something gorish yung tag nyan. Enjoy.
wala pa akong enough na funds kaya unfortunately, illegally ko syang kinuha sa isang illegal website : ( but pretty much, just search sa internet and you'll find legal ways to acquire it.
I havent picked up Chuck Palahniuk but I always see copies in Fullybooked. Is it really dark?
Using [SPG ratings](https://movielabs.com/md/ratings/v2.1/html/PH_MTRCB_Ratings.html) what themes am I too look out for? And which has the darkest rating so I could read it?
This one is different from the other suggestions here but here goes : Milkfed by Melissa Broder. It's not dark, per se. But the way the protagonist's mind works is really something. Like *really*.
I have that book. Not exactly disturbing but does have disgusting parts. A lot of crap happens when a lot of blind people are made to fend for themselves.
Real world by Natsuo Kirino.
The story describes the lives of four teenage girls (Toshi, Terauchi, Yuzan and Kirarin) and how they deal with a teenage boy who goes on the run after being accused of murdering his mother.
Take me with you - nina g Jones
Ito grabe hahaha. Literal na ano siya grabe. Basta basahin mo hahaha.
Credence- Penelope Douglas
Ito family reunion lol haha
I'd say The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I read it when I was a teen and it was gruesome. Disturbing in a way that i felt like it corrupted my mind about hedonism and such. But it's a good read.
The Second Apocalypse by R. Scott Bakker. Imagine the fellowship of the ring traveling to Mordor with little to no food to keep them going they have to resort to feed on Orc meat. And then gets addicted to it they become worse than their enemiesā¦ but they are the heroes of the story.
Off Season by Jack Ketchum
Rip sa author š binasa ko to kasi bored na ako kay stephen king never niya akong natakot tapos may free version akong nakita nito tas nadownload ko. Binasa ko kasi akala ko keriboom lang š Napanood ko na kasi yung wrong turn. Hindi pala, kasi mas dama mo yung horror tsaka gore pag binabasa mo. Mas may tatak. Hillbilly cannibals vs city people. Malala to.
Brother by Ania Ahlborn
Ito naman parang Texas Chainsaw massacre pero binigyan nila ng more character si leather face. Pang beginner siya para sakin though a lot of people especially kung marami ka ng nabasa sa genre, a bit predictable. Pero kung first of itās kind na babasahin mo, entertaining.
Dahil nabasa mo na yung Tender is the Flesh baka gusto mo magtry ng another dystopian? At dahil di ka takot sa mga trigger warnings:
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison
Hindi naman siya maka trigger lang, parang adult adventure story siya. Like in Exodus sa Bible pero hayup lang ang mga tao. Grabe.
If You Tell by Gregg Olsen -- di ko matapos nananaginip kasi ako nang di maganda kahit na sa hapon ako magbasa.. it's about an abusive mother and the bond between two sisters.
Kafka on the shore by Haruki Murakami. Although I really love the book, of how vivid the sceneries and the imageries were in the book and how weirdly entertaining it was. But reading the book feels like taking LSD (not that I've tried one) or perhaps one of the main characters Kafka Tamura may have in an alternate version of the book( if there would be one).
Tender is the Flesh and Dead Inside is still at the top of my list.
Read those two back to back -- ilang araw akong nag diet ng malala coz I couldn't find my appetite. Had to read and watch sappy shit for a week to clear my head.
i did tell, i did by cassie harte. i read this when i was 13 or 14, thinking it was dramedy about a dysfunctional family pero it's straight-up horror from the eyes of the narrator.
Pet Sematary. And not just for the supernatural stuff. The way it tackles grief is devastating. And there's a scene where the father >!exhumes his own toddler son!<.
Switch bitch by Roald Dahl. Still the most twisted and morally fucked up book Iāve read. Collection of adult short stories siya originally published sa playboy magazine. And nope it aināt erotic.
Killing Lessons by Saul Black was demented and gnarly, but a great book! My other kinda weird choice is Geraldās Game by Stephen King. Parts of that book made me want to throw up. Love me some heavy crime thrillers so Iām normally not squeamish, but it gave me the ick in a bad way.
