Sotos, Bataille, Sade, Delany, Teratologen, and so on and so on...
I kinda find depravity seeping through the cracks in bourgeois life more effective though... like in Musil's Törless or Mann or Gide's novels.

Rage. Despite it being a King work, I enjoy the psychology behind Charlie Decker and his reasoning behind his murdering. Either that or Dylan Klebolds diary

Had my edgy phase almost a decade ago. I read everything I could find that was considered fucked up or bizarre or disturbing. The one that left me feeling an emotional reaction is pic related. When I finished it I just felt sick and really unnerved for a while.

idk the whole Meg situation wasn't exactly what 12 year old me was used to in terms of graphic abuse, I had read my fair share of decidedly non-PG-13 stuff before but that was still something else. and ketchum has a way of writing that just captivates the reader, I read it in a single sitting and just hid in my room for two days because my brain was full of wat.

I've re-read it at age 21ish and it didn't disturb me as much the second time I'll admit (and not only because I already knew what would happen), but still.

I just read the summary of the Sylvia Likens case on wikipedia. My fucking anus it's horrifying. Kinda reminds me of the Junko Furuta case.

Good fucking God anon, that was repulsive. The aftermath is just... I don't know how to express it because I consider myself someone who supports reformation over punishment, but I'm having serious trouble not stating that those people were nothing but evil and deserved to rot in prison or straight be be executed for their abominable crime.

I think the reform vs punishment debate is often rooted in the idea that there's doubt of actual guilt. If you see someone do a crime red-handed, then if the crime's serious enough there should be no reason not to kill.
