Consumer (Gira), Cows (Stokoe) and The End of Alice (some woman) are the most unpleasant books I've read. Then there's 120 Days of Sodom of course, but there´s too much humour to be truly disturbing.

Well, i‘ve been writing an anthology of violent fucked-up abstract Lynchian short stories. Just to manage my internal angst.
I’ll see if i can shill my trashy ramblings one day on this board.

Anyhoo, I would suggest you to read Lunar Park and Glamorama (far more violent, unhinged and dangerous than American Psycho) + anything by Wade H. Garrett + The Dark by James Herbert + Twisted Tears by Stan Taylor.

Also, picrel.

Which one should I read first?

All of that's fascinating as it's part of the thin red line for the now mostly desensitized society. Writing about it should be encouraged.

Mouchette is already on the list. Have you read that?
I am also not going to make any more big changes to the chart, sorry man.

This also made me see that I've misspelled Bernanos on chart 2.6, and therefore, even though I hate giving you all a new chart after promoting the previous one: here is chart 2.7, with the spelling mistake fixed!

There is some humour in a number of these books. I, however, do not know the details of every one of them, so I can only help you a little bit. Death on the Installment Plan definitely has dark humour in it, and so does The Wasp Factory (although probably not as much). If you have not read any other work on the list, I would say go with The Wasp Factory. I know that Maldoror and Naked Lunch are pretty surreal, so if you're looking for that then these are good choices. Proxy and Ordeal are the only non-fiction works on the list, so that can hit extra hard because it actually happened. Hogg and 120 Days are pretty extreme, according to what other people here say. I hope this helped! Let me know what book you're going for next!

Other people have tried to find it as well, but so far the only one that is open is the original in French.

There sadly is no website for books, only for albums and films I think. People make charts in different ways. Some people use Photoshop, some Gimp, I myself use Word (just make a table and edit it) and Paint (to get it all into one image). Some charts (like the Comfy chart, with scaling from child to adult and from serious to lighthearted) are made by just saving every image in a folder, sorting it and screenshotting it.

Again, here is chart 2.7, with the only difference being the fixing of a spelling error.
