Also, anything that's so disturbing it will make me puke goes in here as well.

>skull scary
Why does it bother you that Jerome has a skull on his desk? Him and many other saints kept a human skull to remind them of their own mortality. If I could procure one, I would do the same thing.

>Some banish the thought of death, as if, by avoiding to think of death, they could escape it. But death cannot be avoided; and they who banish the thought of it, expose themselves to great danger of an unhappy death. By keeping death before their eyes, the saints have despised all the goods of this earth. Hence St. Charles Borromeo kept on his table a death’s head, that he might have it continually in view. Cardinal Baronius had the words, “Memento mori”Remember death” inscribed on his ring. The venerable P. Juvenal Anzia, Bishop of Saluzo, had before him a skull, on which was written, “As I am, so thou shalt be.” In retiring to deserts and caves the holy solitaries brought with them the head of a dead man; and for what purpose? To prepare themselves for death. Thus a certain hermit being asked at death, why he was so cheerful, answered: I have kept death always before my eyes; and therefore, now that it has arrived, I feel no terror. But, oh! how full of terror is death, when it comes to those who have thought of it but seldom.

Alive by Piers Paul Read

The only book ive ever read so far that tried to be disturbing and succeeded was The Girl Next Door. Mostly because even though everyone in the story was a fucking retard, I actually cared about at least one of the characters. If you want splatterpunk trash, his earlier work, Off Season is pretty good, just make sure you get the uncensored second edition.

And whatever you hear, don't read Haunted. The worst book I've ever read, of tries to be "disturbing" the same way Human Centipede does, bit fails even more. Absolute waste of my time.
