I need ultra-gory/brutal horror novels for spooky month.
The literary equivalent of NC-17/X rated slasher gorefests.

Endless Night by Richard Laymon. It's about a group of people who do home invasions, torturing murdering raping etc. One PoV is from a survivor of one of these raids- the other one is from a leader of the maniacs. Guess which chapters you'll like better. Definitely worth it and it's a fast read with little downtime.

Right now, I am reading the Death Note manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takashi Obata. Will start Uzumaki by Junji Itoh and Hideyuki Kikuchi's Wicked City soon. Going to speed read through Wicked City as fast as I can for obvious reasons. Might also read Clive Barker's Cabal, the edition that also includes some short stories.

Usually during October I would read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but since there is that new Frankenstein film, I'm going to forego reading that book this year.

My plan is to binge William Hope Hodgson stories from the night shade books anthologies "the house on the borderlands and other mysterious places" and "the night lands and other perilous romances." I also ordered pic related and will probably go through my favorites from Poe, Lovecraft, Ligotti and Machen.

Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" is pretty horrific and gory

>>22546244
I don't seem to recall much explicit gore from Lovecraft apart from him describing profane and horrid sights that the narrator shall refrain from relaying to the reader that they may not be afflicted by ceaseless night terrors and visions in the dark.

Here the season is spooky in a too cute a way, at least until past Thanksgiving. By January a more convincing spookiness can set in: Driving rural interstates in a big quiet ol' sedan can seem a bit like landing on the moon at times, with music you didn't expect to match.

More than that, as expose it not only took a lot of balls to go there, its impact was huge and almost entirely salutary.
