This is the current, updated chart, now with Unica Zürn - Dark Spring!
I edited some minor annoyances as well. Unless anyone will confirm another work on the list below in the next ~12 hours, this will be the final version of the new and improved Dark and Disturbing Literature chart!

What do other people think about the books on the list below, that will be discarded and not be included in the chart? I feel a bit bad for the books that have been recommended by one person, since they might be good inclusions for the chart but they are too unknown or no one else who has read it has seen this thread to vouch for their quality.
I know I cannot make a chart with all the books that might be perfect for this theme, and that if I would try to do so I can be here trying to update the chart everyday forever, but it still feels bad to throw them out, you know?

Either way, I really hope you have all enjoyed discussing and making this chart as much as I have. It's been amazing hearing all your experiences with these works, and hearing the impact some of them had on you.
I just made the first thread because I wanted to hear more about the old chart, and see what everyone's opinion is on them. I have been checking /lit/ every once in a while, and there would almost never be a thread like this, so for the first time I decided to just make my own. And somehow, I gradually started getting your opinions on the chart, which ones should not have been included, which ones should have been included, etc, and I decided to make it a personal project, to create a good chart, the best chart I can make with all of your help. It took me an awful long time, but I really hope you, and people in the future can all enjoy this (pretty unique) chart of what we all love: dark and disturbing literature!
Please save this chart, and spread it when you can. I really hope to see it on the recommended reading site sometime in the future, and I also hope to have inspired some of you to read some unsettling literature you haven't heard of before. Thank all of you for your enthusiasm and help!

This will probably not be necessary anymore, but just in case:
