My personal favourite, but it's not a novel.

Also pic semi related.

This book isn't inherently depressing but the end made me fucking bawl like a baby.

This is the most depressing science fiction novel I've ever read.

They spawned last year in response to the lack of "new depressing literature" that /lit/ craves for, but I really don't know if there's an "upper chart".

I saw like 4 of these.

There's the depression lit chart, for one.

yeah but it was somehow weak and some of the books that were listed aren't really depressing

>> No.5979988

>>5979981
"Depressing" is kind of vague and depends on the reader anyway. All of them have some aspect that was highly depressing to someone. That kind of list will always be YMMV.

It's a fucking creepy ending if you know what Lawrence thought about eugenics and euthanasia. Good one, but it creeps me out.

Could you explain this for me? I only vaguely remember the ending of the novel, and only somewhat familiar with his beliefs.

>> No.5980312

>>5980291
At the end he kills his sick mother
As for his beliefs I'm on my phone so I can't copy-paste easily but read the quote on his wiki page about Crystal Palace. He literally wanted to genocide the unfit.
