Most disturbing novel you have read lately?
rynne:
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski
Both are similar, I think, in that they're essentially travelogues depicting astounding violence and depravity as the basic and natural state of human interaction.

Blindness was such a good book.

Hunter is pretty bad as well, though the almost orgasmic depictions of genocide in The Turner Diaries are deeply, deeply chilling. There is a particular scene where the main character pretty much starts skipping for joy because his neo-nazi terrorist army have just killed every black, hispanic, jewis, gay and liberal person in California. I think something like the Turner Diaries is always going to top a list like this for me, because an author deliberately trying to gross you out can never be as bad as an author that is basically just a fundamentally evil bastard.
In the more conventional sense, I think The Wasp Factory probably deserves a place.

I'm reading it now... Damn, it's so brilliant! And I didn't known about the book being in first person, that came as a big surprise to me and it added to the awesomeness imho.
The book makes me laugh a lot but also get quiet scarred

House of Leaves was the creepiest shit. Although by the middle of the book I didn't really care about the narrator anymore, I just wanted to know what was going down in the house...
