10 Most DISTURBING BOOKS I've Ever Read

this is one of the most entertaining horror novels that i've ever read it moves at a breakneck speed and it's simultaneously i think very scary and kind of almost a jump scare away if that could be in a book but it also has a lot of gory aspects as well if that's something that freaks you out but i also think that it's pretty well written and just really fun if you would ever call a horror novel fun

this is one where i personally cannot stop thinking about the ending the entirety of this book is so bleak and depressing there are so few moments of lightness and it almost reminds me a little bit of we need to talk about kevin in that sense where the entire book just felt very realistic and depressing

this is another one where similar to sadie i would highly recommend listening to it as an audio book in this case simply because the narrator she has a very kind of beautiful and haunting quality to her voice that fits really well with the story

this is one that i will never go back and reread i will never watch the movie and to be honest i don't know why past we would want to read something like this because it is see i can't even like think of words to describe it because it's just that awful not that the writing is awful the writing's fine but yeah i just don't know why looking back at it i would have wanted to read this book

similar to intensity this moves at a very quick pace and to be honest this one has a lot of trigger warnings and a lot of her books do for really horrible violence against women so just putting that up there up front if that's something that makes you uncomfortable

this one also really got under my skin and just felt so gross and i can never look at the objects that this book has to do with in a different way and i'm sure if you read the book you know what i'm talking about but just really freaked me out but it was also just compulsively readable so fun

the scene where someone does get unwound i don't think it's a spoiler to say that you know someone in the book that's unfound is what the book's called is not graphic but really freaked me out and i would say that maybe disturbing isn't the right word but very unsettling and hey i'm still thinking about it seven eight years later

the writing style in this book is very beautiful and haunting and although this book is definitely not as gory as the last couple books i mentioned i think because this one feels so painfully realistic especially looking at the news these days every time unfortunately open up the news and you fear something horrible that has happened i won't say anything specific because it will get into what happens in the books really uncomfortable and there although there are moments of gore they're done in a really subtle way but that are just very disturbing

if you've read the book i'm sure you know what which scenes i'm talking about but really kind of grossed me out even though they weren't incredibly gory but again kind of felt realistic and really got under my skin
