The Most Disturbing Book You've Ever Read.

Most definitely Thug-a-lisious by Noire and Hood, by her also. Thug-a-lisious because of the character Pimp. It was explained that at a young age he used to chase rats in the ally and kill them for fun. Then when he got older, the story explained that he raped little girls and buried their bodies in mysterious places. He also raped main character Carmisha constantly, who then gave birth to his demented son Jahlil who was just a bad egg. Then he acted like he didn't know it was his son (although it was never admitted in the book) but you could get the feel that he knew it was his son. Then he convinced his son Jahlil to stab his cousin Thug, eventually causing his death do to being paralyzed from the neck down, by lying telling him that Thug was his dad and that he didn't care about him. The book made me mad all the way through until the end.

Also Hood because the character Drecko used to make little boys suck his dick and girls toss his salad. The way it was described was disgusting though. Some parts where Drecko makes the character Zeena do nasty shit made me want to throw up.

Last one was in the story The Climax by Allison Hobbs. But it was only this one part in the beginning when the character Kai is in prison and this dyke girl makes her eat her out. Then the narrator explains how horrible the woman's vagina smells as if she has an affection of some type. That right there made me want to barf. But then it gets worse. Kai starts to lose her mind and starts to bite apart the girls vagina until there's nothing left but a bloody hole. Hobbs explained that she couldn't even make the vagina out anymore. Just thinking about it makes me gag.

A Wolf At The Table and Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs... I felt so bad for him growing up like that.

Agreed. They were disturbing to me just because he was so blunt about it, especially Running With Scissors. Some of the stuff in that book was absolutely unreal.

Out of the dust. So freaking boring I rather jump off a cliff than read it again.

A Dance With Dragons by George R.R Martin

It was fucked up to say the least. I mean, at least the 'Reek' chapters were.
Spoilers for anyone reading it: Ramsay Bolton's abuse of Theon Greyjoy made me sick. The whole thing made me sicker than some of the dubious sex scenes with the Dothraki and the Red Wedding and the wights and cold hands and Littlefinger/Sansa. He had Theon locked up for so long his hair fell out, he was forced to eat rats and was deprived of bathing. He made the character breakdown and believe that he was Reek, Ramsay's lost servant. Theon was scared to admit who he was. He was scared to refuse orders from Ramsay. He was abused verbally and physically and ugh, Ramsay made him join in when it came to bedding his wife. And the entire thing was from his POV as Reek and the depths of his insanity was terrifying.

It was just so horrible reading it. Especially when you think back to the last time that character appeared. When he was strong and determined to make his own name and be King.

It just really was not nice |:

Ive read The Silence of the Lambs and the sequel, Hannibal, and they are both supposed to be very disturbing, but I just found them really interesting, and, i must admit, some of the scenes where the mean/stupid guys died were kinda funny. does that make me weird?

one of the few books ive read that was actually a bit disturbing was China Meiville's King Rat, which is an awesome book. The disturbing part was how close it brought you to the characters... and then suddenly killed them in really creative ways...

Ahaha. I read the entire Hannibal series and I LOVED it. Haha. I'm not easily disturbed, but I gotta say that the Exorcist, by William Peter Blatty was kinda freaky and so was its sequel, Legion. But they're among my favorite books. To be honest, I disturb myself more than other writers disturb me. Hhehehe.

'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood.
A fertility crisis set in a future dystopian society. Instutionalised rape, practically.

Fahrenheit 451. The book didn't actually disturb me, but I guess the...idea of the book and with technology today...Disturbing.

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher.

It's about a girl who commited suicide and before she died made 13 voice cassette tapes for each person who had a part in her descision to commit suicide. The story is the 13 people that are responsible as they listen to the cassette and their reactions.

I think the reason this novel disturbed me so much is a fellow peer of mine at school comitted suicide earlier this year and after it happen I began to think what possessed them to make that descision. For this book to have first hand insight into a person mental thoughts before suicide was quite horrifying.

Overall though the book was spectacularly written and was a fairly easy but emotionally packed read.

DarkestStorm:

Fahrenheit 451. The book didn't actually disturb me, but I guess the...idea of the book and with technology today...Disturbing.

Haha, that was in our QCS test, and I read the part about books being outlawed and it alone freaked me out.

I'd have to say Wasted, by Marya Hornbacher.

The Lord of the Flies

I'm not sure what the most disturbing book I've read ever was, but certainly one that disturbed me recently(ish) was When I Was Five I Killed Myself by Howard Buten. The title sort of says it all.

I've just recently read the book, 'Beautiful Disaster' by Jamie McGuire and wow, the male lead was completely psychotic. He threw punches at basically anyone who looked at 'his girl' and watched her sleep. He also bought her a puppy - because he wanted to be tied down with her. The character alone made me so turned off to the book that I just stopped reading about midway.

And it was supposedly a romance. I just have to laugh at that fact because it was anything but.

'A Thousand Splendid Suns'

We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. This is one of my favorite novels, but it is incredibly disturbing.

A few months ago I started reading The War Zone by Alexander Stuart and some parts were so disgusting I shuddered. It's about incest between a father and his teenage daughter, and although the sex is described very explicitly, that's not what upset me the most. I stopped reading because I couldn't figure out the motives of the characters. Tom, the son, confused me the most, but the daughter, Jessie, infuriated me and I didn't understand her thought processes at all. I found myself beginning to hate her character. And the book doesn't end on a a happy note at all, in fact, the ending made me even angrier.

Stick by Andrew Smith.

The Kid by Sapphire. I almost couldn't finish but then it got better, and then it got much, much worse.
I would honestly never, ever recommend it.

Also, Lolita is pretty disturbing right now, but nothing close.

Phantoms by Dean Koontz really messed with me.

My friend's mom's book "Lessons From An Evil Mind" actually made me cry. It's a horror story, but my god, it's so wonderful. Twisted and somewhat supernatural, but definitely gave me the creeps.

There haven't been many books that have disturbed me as a whole. It's usually short stories that I find online, like creepypasta and urban legends, that really get to me. Having said that, there's a scene in the book I'm re-reading right now that terrified me when I first read it a few years back.

The book is called The Secret of Crickley Hall and it's by James Patterson. It's a classic ghost story, haunted house and creepy occurances and all that, and there's a scene where the ghost of the man responsible for the atrocities that occured in the house appeared. He was a right nasty piece of work who used to beat and torture kids and stuff, and he did this because he was highly religious and believed he was beating the sin out of them and whatnot. Anyway, he used to flog himself, and there's this scene where two kids break into the house and he's coming down the stairs, completely naked, flickering in and out of focus and he's just methodically whipping himself and they can see blood splattering all over the place and everything. They run down and hide in the cellar and they can hear the whip cracks getting closer, and then over them they start hearing something dragging itself out of the well in the cellar behind them.

I remember just putting the book down and having to take a few minutes to get those images out of my head, they were really graphic.
