ITT books which deal with child abuse in a controversial manner, preferably ones narrated by a paedophile, or the victim. Also stories which deal with sexual experiences between children of a similar age are welcome (although not so much if it is just a ‘coming of age’ story about teenagers experimenting with sex – unless done in quite an explicit/controversial fashion).

Those semi-autobiographical ‘survival stories’ which don’t explore the subject other than loosely describing it as a traumatic experience, or books with a main character who has undergone abuse during the past (but it is not a central theme to the book), are of no interest here.

The child killer – identified only as "Chappy" – who narrates most of the novel, has been in prison for 23 years. Now in his 50s and with a parole hearing approaching, he receives a letter from an unnamed 19-year-old girl who takes a morbid interest in his case. She then begins to relate how she plans on seducing a 12-year-old boy named Matthew who lives in her neighbourhood.

The girl corresponds with him and the man’s past is contrasted with explicit details of how she seduces Matthew, a typical young boy with many of the unattractive habits a 12-year-old can have, plus a few uniquely disgusting ones of his own creation.

Chappy encourages her, and the girl soon accomplishes her mission by first giving Matthew tennis lessons and then, when she babysits him, strips naked and gives him a quick hands-on lesson in feminine biology. The pair soon have sex and continue to do so on regular occasions.

Chappy eagerly reads the girl's letters as she describes her successes, although he also berates her for her poor grammar and for her liberal use of exclamation points. There are several scenes of prison sex.

During the novel, Chappy makes frequent references to "Alice," his victim, but it is only towards the end of the book that he finally elaborates. Alice was a 12-year-old girl with whom he had a sexual relationship. At the very end of the story, during his parole hearing, we find out the convict brutally murdered and decapitated Alice after she blamed him for her bleeding, which was actually her period (she didn't know what it was). He tried to explain to her what had happened, but she kept threatening to kill him.

The novel also references Chappy's childhood, especially his unstable, emotionally and sexually abusive mother.

A catalogue of drug abuse, child sexual abuse, physical abuse centred around Jeremiah, a young boy, and his prostitute mother Sarah.

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is told from Jeremiah's perspective and is a collection of interlinked chapters that focus on his early life with his mother. At the start of the novel, five-year-old Jeremiah is taken away from his foster parents to live with Sarah, a drug addict and lot lizard prostitute, who has recently turned 18 and legally gained custody.

Jeremiah moves with his mother from truck driver to truck driver as he gets older, though his age in each chapter is never clearly established. Sarah forces Jeremiah to take on various roles of siblings and offspring (gender determined by Sarah). After wetting his bed, Jeremiah gets viciously belted by her then-boyfriend, Luther, while his mother fondles his penis. He is made to shoplift by Sarah and is left home alone and unattended for six days when Sarah marries one of her men. The man returns alone from their honeymoon, explaining how Sarah abandoned him after he lost his money in Atlantic City, sodomises Jeremiah, then dumps him outside a hospital.

After some ineffectual psychotherapy, he goes to live with his repressive Christian grandparents' home. Jeremiah is abused there as well; he is being forced to get into scalding water.

Two years later, Jeremiah's mother unexpectedly turns up and takes him away, aware of the lack of power her parents have over the custody decision. She makes him grow shoulder-length hair and act as a girl, on occasion for the sexual satisfaction of her clients. With Sarah as the only influential figure in his life, Jeremiah starts to adopt his mother's seduction techniques. After dressing up as a 'baby doll', Jeremiah seduces Jackson, his mother's latest man, who initially tries to rebuff the boy's advances, but then rapes him.

When I Was Five I Killed Myself was written from the point of view and perspective of a young child. A misunderstanding between adults and five-year-old Burton Rembrandt lands him in a Children’s Trust Residence Center, an institution for disturbed, psychopathic or autistic children. Burt, an innocent child like any other, was mistakenly placed in the Trust Residence for his thoughts, after an inappropriate encounter with a classmate named Jessica.

Teenager Rebbecca Ray's debut novel paints a deeply disturbing portrait of the life of an adolescent girl growing up in small-town England in the dying breaths of the 20th century. The humiliations of her first day at secondary school soon give way to grudging acceptance as Ray's unnamed heroine learns how to "fit in". Letting boys touch her and hanging out with the misfits and trouble-makers makes daily life bearable. Which is just as well as home life is far from bearable. With a brow-beaten, ineffectual mother, whose own feelings of self-worth have long since been ground to a pulp by a bullying, overbearing husband, it comes as no surprise when their 14-year-old daughter starts dating a man old enough to be her father. Sex, drugs, paedophilia and masochism are all shrugged off by our 14-year-old leading lady whose feelings of self-loathing grow deeper, page by gripping page, until they reach a disturbing, inevitable conclusion. Written in the first person, Ray's narrative is stark and shocking. She describes a life, a family, a society too darkly accurate to be pure fiction. As a novelist, Rebbecca Ray has found a suitable channel for her emotions. Today's teenagers, meanwhile, need help.

The novel was written partly as a literary parody of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, partly as a reply both to the book and to the icon that the character Lolita has become. It tells the story of thirteen year old Lucky Lady Linderhoff, and her mother, and their lodger, who Lucky calls Roger Fishbite.

Whilst taking its inspiration from Nabokov’s Lolita, Prager’s novel is narrated by Lucky, not Fishbite, and displays a number of twists and turns that differ from the original text. Prager also updates the story, setting it in the modern day period, rather than choosing to set it in the nineteen fifties.

Lolita is divided into two parts and 69 chapters. It is narrated by Humbert Humbert, a literary scholar born in 1910 to a Swiss father and an English mother in Paris, who is obsessed with young girls, whom he refers to as "nymphets". Humbert suggests that this obsession results from the death of a childhood sweetheart, Annabel Leigh (a deliberate play by Nabokov on the poem "Annabel Lee", by Humbert's favorite poet Edgar Allan Poe, which also involves a dead girl and her left behind lover). After an unsuccessful marriage to a Polish doctor's adult daughter, Valeria, Humbert moves to Ramsdale, a small New England town, in 1947 to write. He rents a room in the house of Charlotte Haze, a widow. While Charlotte tours him around the house, he meets her 12-year-old daughter, Dolores (also known as Dolly, Lolita, Lola, Lo and L), with whom—partially due to her uncanny resemblance to Annabel—he immediately becomes infatuated. Humbert stays at the house only to remain near her. While he is obsessed with Lolita, he disdains her crassness and preoccupation with contemporary American popular culture, such as teen movies and comic books...

It's disappointing that on a website which prizes itself on anonymity and allowing users to freely exchange ideas, no matter how 'taboo' they may be, is so full of narrow minded individuals. (or are you all just trolls?)

It outlines in appalling detail the author’s sexual relationship as a child with a middle-aged man, which went on for the best part of 15 years until his eventual suicide. This affair was tolerated by her mentally ill mother, herself a victim of sexual abuse, and her drunk, bullying father.

"I still think about Peter, the man I loved most in the world, all the time.

At two in the afternoon, when he would come and pick me up and take me for rides; at five, when I would read to him, head on his chest; in the despair at seven p.m., when he would hold me and rub my belly for an hour; in the despair again at nine p.m. when we would go for a night ride, down to the Royal Cliffs Diner in Englewood Cliffs where I would buy a cup of coffee with precisely seven sugars and a lot of cream. We were friends, soul mates and lovers.

I was seven. He was fifty-one."

The story takes place in 1950s suburban America, and is told in flashback form by the narrator, David.

After giving the reader a quick tour of his neighborhood and childhood friends, David introduces Ruth, a single mother and alcoholic, amongst other things. Ruth has, over time, gained the trust of the neighborhood children by allowing them to come freely into her home, play as rough as they wish, and even drink an occasional beer with her.

Fast forward to Meg and Susan, Ruth's nieces, who come to live with their aunt after the death of their parents. All seems well at first: the girls make friends with the other children and David begins to develop feelings for the sweet and innocent Meg.

However, Ruth's mental state has been deteriorating over time, and the burden of having two more children to care for seems to accelerate her descent into madness.

Ruth begins verbally, then physically, abusing the two girls, often while the other neighborhood children are watching. Then she allows the other children to abuse them, making them feel that because they have the permission of an adult, their actions are okay and will not be punished.

Finally both Meg (who is severely injured and near death) and Susan find themselves locked up in the bomb shelter in Ruth's basement, and David realizes that he must do something before time runs out and he loses the first girl he ever loved. However, despite his efforts, his plan to rescue the girls is foiled by Ruth and the neighborhood children under her control. After one final act of torture, Meg dies, shortly before the police arrive.

Is Nabokov's Lolita a genuine work of art? Well, some 'works of art' plumb the depths of morality, and this is one of them. Paedophilia, incest and necrophilia are society's taboos, and this book helps to make the first one more mainstream. It is an insidious attempt by those who have twisted minds to encourage child rape, or even give child rape recognised legal status. Therefore 'Lolita' is a moral monstrosity, and indeed, creative expressions are often the most insidious means of making society more perverse. Yes, there are powerful people out there who want to make society more peverse, believe me.

The Painted Bird is a controversial 1965 novel by Jerzy Kosiński which describes the world as seen by a young boy, "considered a Gypsy or Jewish stray," who wanders about small towns scattered around Central or Eastern Europe (presumably Poland) during World War II.

The book describes the wandering boy's encounters with peasants engaged in all forms of sexual and social deviance such as incest, bestiality and rape, and in a huge amount of violence exciting a form of lust. The book title was drawn from an incident within its content. The boy, while in the company of a professional bird catcher, observes how the man took one of his captured birds and painted it several colors. Then he released the bird to fly in search of a flock of its kin, but when it came upon them, they saw it as an intruder and tore at the bird until it fell from the sky.

I was looking forward to reading this book. A tragic story and in all sincerity, many of us enjoy reading real life tragedy, because we have a difficult time envisaging something so horrible could have happened to an individual. You always wonder, what are the circumstances, how does this go on for so many years? While the very reality of what happened is horrible, the book, I fear, is too. Every page has something to do with a new cat or dog, it really doesn't capture what her life was like, and essentially, aside from the obvious (having children by her captor, which also implies being raped by him as well) there is no mention of every day life in a real way. The pages are filled with I just want something/someone to love me, cats, dogs, their deaths and her working. Its tedious and not really much of a story, truth be told. It doesn't evoke emotion, it simply beckons boredom. I started skipping over parts because I just couldn't read another paragraph in extreme detail about another cat or dog and how much she loves it or it loves her, or her wondering about her mother in no actual terms, just generically speaking. The whole story felt vacant - generic. So I would not recommend this book.

This does sound very good. Having grown up on a council estate myself I think it'll be easy to identify with the plight of the victims of this story.

"Part narrated by Skunk Cunningham, an eleven-year-old girl in a coma, Broken. A Novel tells the intertwining stories of three families who live in a suburban square in the south of England. The Oswalds – Bob and his five daughters – are the neighbors from hell. They lie, steal, cheat, bully and intimidate anyone unlucky enough to be anywhere near them, including Rick Buckley, a geeky but harmless nineteen-year-old boy who lives with his mum and dad on the other side of the square. Humiliated publicly by the Oswalds in the early stages of the novel, Rick descends into madness and becomes the Broken of the title. Skunk, her brother Jed and their new friend Dillon become fascinated with what’s happened to Broken which, in turn, leads to Skunk ending up in the coma from which she narrates the story."

All of the books itt link the sexual acts with suffering or some kind of negative consequence. I would imagine actual paedophiles would only be interested in reading books which paint a rosy picture of 'love affair' between adults and children.

Lolita is the only one with a love affair that is completely believable and quite beautiful.
The End of Alice attempts a love story, but it is so crudely created that it is barely believable and the defining moment of the book (read: the shock and awe) is over within a paragraph.

Tiger,Tiger is supposedly an autobiographical account of such a relationship. Although I haven't read it (planning to), if it is believability you are after, I imagine it delivers.

I just think Peter Jackson did a terrible job with the adaptation. But I can stand watching it mainly because the cinematography is so gorgeous (I'm an amateur photographer myself) and Saoirse Ronan is an incredible young actress (Atonement, Hanna).

This book is one of the most tedious and lifeless pieces of pretentious rubbish I have ever struggled through. At heart this is a book about a pompous bore who repeatedly rapes a twelve year old girl. It's not salacious about it. It would be a more honest(and probably better) book if it was. instead we get the most pompous and overbearing narrator in fiction. No amount of allusions to EA Poe having married a twelve year old can change the fact that this is about a child rapist who has no qualms about what he does. How anyone can feel sympathy for him is beyond me.

The people who think it's a wonderful love story are retarded. I love that book, and the prose is beautiful, and the characters are beautiful in a terrible way, but a love story it is not. I don't feel sympathy for him, but a little pity and a little admiration (both for the same thing).

I believe he meant to use the word 'beautiful' more to describe the way Nabokov plays with the English language (his adopted language might I add). Yet, your point remains a valid one.

A recent study found that pornography - all pornography (even extreme pornography) - reduced the likelihood of sexual violence. Numerous studies say otherwise.

If you're justification for banning something is that it incites violence, you'd better have some Goddamn proof - not wishy-washy maybes. This is my adulthood you fucking idiots. Don't tell me how to enjoy my fiction.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

In The Cement Garden, the father of four children dies. His death is followed by the death of the children's mother. In order to avoid being taken into foster care, the children hide their mother's death from the outside world by encasing her corpse in cement in their basement. Two of the siblings, a teenage boy and girl, enter into an incestuous relationship, while the younger son starts to experiment with transvestism.

The narrator is Jack (15), who has two sisters, Julie (17) and Sue (13), and one brother, Tom (6). When they were younger, Jack describes how he and Julie would play a 'game' with their sister Sue. This 'game' was similar to playing doctor, and involved stripping Sue of her clothes and inspecting her intimate body parts as if they were scientists observing a new life form. Jack then mentions how he longs to do the same to his older sister but it was not allowed.

When Julie begins to date a man called Derek and invites him round to their house, Jack feels jealous and shows hostility towards him. Derek becomes more and more interested in what is hidden in their cellar but the children attempt to hide it from him. When a smell begins to emanate from down there, he helps to reclose the trunk their mother is hidden in. Tom eventually tells Jack that Derek has told him that their mother is down in the cellar.

a searing memoir of a four-year affair between the author and her father. 'My father takes my face in his hands. He tips it up and kisses my closed eyes, my throat. I feel his fingers in the hair at the nape of my neck. I feel his hot breath on my eyelids.' Kathryn Harrison's parents married aged 17 but were forced apart by disapproving parents within a year. By which time their only child, Kathryn, had been born. She was not to see her father again until she was ten. Instantly, the two were attracted; they even looked alike. By the time Kathryn was twenty the two had fallen into a passionate affair. Her relationship with her mother had never been easy and now there was this added complication, made worse by the obvious love which still existed between her parents for each other.

>child abuse in a controversial manner, preferably ones narrated by a paedophile, or the victim.

Look, a pedophile rarely would abuse a child. A pedophile would only have consensual sex with one. Child abuse has nothing to do with pedophilia and pedophiles do not have 'victims' but lovers.
