What's the most messed up book you've ever read?

[AmicableAnimal]

The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum. It stuck with me for weeks after finishing it, and it still makes me a bit sick thinking about it now.

 

[antipriest]

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks. Probably one of the only books I've genuinely considered just not finishing

 

[Amberyn]

Trainspotting - one of the many books I read as a literature student that I wish I hadn't.
