oh there's this chart too

maybe read 1982 Janine or Something Leather by Alistar Gray. 1982 Janine is more overtly sexual/disturbed, but parts of that (particularly the infamous typographic pages) seem to me to come from a very dark and personal place. I though the last chapter of Something Leather was quite shocking, though that was probably because I had no idea what I was getting into.
Not particularly similar to Sotos at all, but might be worth a read anyway.

I'm not sure if this is the one but it's relevant anyway.

Have been reading white noise, really is quite good and succinct for PoMo literature.

Hey everyone!
Two months ago, I have been working towards making this chart, along with the help of a lot of you. I've seen this chart popping up often, which I'm really happy with.
I've also heard a number of criticisms, most of which were targeted at the inclusion of Haunted, and sometimes towards Babyfucker.
I'm willing to change the current chart and create a version 2.9 if it improves on 2.8.
Should these books be removed from this chart, and what should be added to replace them?

This is the previous list of possible inclusions:

>Books on the previous list no one has talked about (in depth): should they stay or do they have to go, and why?
Slavenka Draculic - The Taste of a Man
J T LeRoy - The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
Natsuo Kirino - Grotesque

>Books that are recommended to be added to the list, but only by one person: should they be added, or not, and why?
John Hawkes - Second Skin / The Lime Twig
Sorokin - The Day of Oprichnik
Jachym Topol - The Devil's Workshop
Kenzaburo Oe - Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness
Charles Maclean - The Watcher
Steven Barber - Caligula: Divine Carnage
Frederick Exley - A Fan's Notes
Andrea Dworkin - Mercy
Kate Millet - The Basement
Flannery O'Connor - The Complete Stories
Gabriel García Márquez - The Autumn of the Patriarch
Jose Saramago - Blindness
Edward Lee - The Pig

There's a fresh reading list from April on this subject

I know it's not a chart you're looking for, but this one I've made fairly recently, along with a great number of anons.

Most of these books are about taboo themes, I hope this helps!

try looking into the dark and disturbing list that was nicely done over the past few weeks

dont just go for edgy memes
