    Pet Sematary was just gruesome. I watched the movie when I was little, and I barely finished reading the book a few years ago.
    Wasted had some horrible parts, but I couldn't put it down.

    Richard Preston's books always freak me out.
    The Hot Zone scares the shit out of me because it's about Ebola. *shiver*
    And The Cobra Event grosses me out when they talk about the autopsies. He gets really descriptive.

    I thought Dark Horse by Tami Hoag was a bit disturbing. There was one scene that made me go omgno:

    I really liked both those books. :mrgreen:
    Wasted by Marya Hornbacher, or... ? Because that book is, yes, rather horrible, in parts... wonderfully written, though.

    Pet Sematary is the first King book I'd read in a while and I just thought it was great. Distrubing, yeah... s'pose... but bloody great, that's what I'd say.

    Anyway... disturbing? I found Less Than Zero - Bret Easton Ellis a bit disturbing, personally...

    Preacher: Until the End of the World, which is the second volume in the Preacher series of graphic novels by Garth Ennis.

    A guy rapes a chicken. No joke, a guy has sex with a chicken while saying things to it like "take it, you s***".

    The whole series is messed, but I can honestly say I've never seen a chicken rape scene before.

    Beats me. The guy was a lunatic though, as the narrator described, "he'd fuck anything with a pulse." :XD

    LMAO.

    Uhm. Hmm. I don't really think I've read any books like that.
    Howabout....Stephen King's books are waay to wonderful to be disturbing -tear-
    The Color Purple, I guess? The first page kind of like. Turned me away from it.

    I always wanted to stay in bed and do nothing but read, but I never get the chance. Disgust

    Naked Lunch... it's weird. I'm still reading it.

    ^^^ Twilight books disturb me with their shiteousness and uncanny ability to brainwash people into thinking their well-written. Scary stuff. :shock:
    the dream maker.:
    American Psycho. I still like it, but I had never read a book that graphic prior to that book.
    I don't think anything can top that. After American Psycho, I am unshockable. It's great. :]]]

    Ummm, most of Bret Easton Ellis's other books. The Informers, in particular, and Less Than Zero had a few moments.

    Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk was pretty weird too. Lol, understatement much. The part with the dead body. & Saint Gut-Free. Chyeah. xDD

    Sounds weird, but the Zombie Survival Guide.

    Kinda freaked me out that someone spent that much time thinking about ways to decapitate/hide from/turn into zombies.

    Edward Cullen chewing threw his wife's uterus to rescue their demon spawn and the thing breaking her spine was just...ew. I cannot believe they are making a movie and that freaking scene will be in it. That's Alien shit right there.

    I've never really read anything disturbing, unfortunately. :| (But I've written down most of the books mentioned in this thread so I can buy them later.) I have read a few, though, that had some scenes that made me cringe. Identical by Ellen Hopkins is one of them, mostly because of the description of the abuse the main character receives from her father. The way he's described and portrayed is just...creepy as hell, and just some of the things he did to the main character were just disgusting.

    And I once read a book full of short stories that my best friend got from the library, and she had me read one particular story in it. I don't remember what it was called, but it was about this girl who works in a whore house in Japan, and one of her clients gets off by...um...drinking her urine. He literally had her piss in a cup and he drank it. And then in another scene, this guy, another client, forced her to use an enema and she ended up...well, you can fill in the blank, and that got him off. It was just really, really gross.

    And the worst part is that some people actually think that shit is sexy in real life! omgno:

    Guts by Chuck Palahnuik. The whole time I was sat there like "omgno:"
    I find a his books disturbing. But yet, I love them.

    I'm not really talking about sick-to-your-stomach, grossed-out disturbing. I don't really know how to say it… They make you think, and think about things in a different perspective than you normally would. Some of the things he says are truly haunting; they make it seem like reality is just a sham. It's not a throw-up disturbance, but a more intellectual realization…

    I'm not saying this right.
    It's creepy, but awesome.

    I'm trying to read more of his stuff, so far I've only read Rant and I'm starting on Lullaby. Is Guts good?

    ^^ Guts is one of the many disgusting stories which make up his book Haunted, which, as I said above, is absolutely FUCKED up.

    In a great way.

    :]

    & it's kind of a given that you read Fight Club and Invisible Monsters. :file:

    I've read a lot of them, but the most recent one "The Colour Purple" by Alice Walker springs to mind.
