Disturbing books are so often synonymous with horror fiction. While there are classics, nonfiction, memoirs and other genres that are 'disturbing' I've found horror tends to populate the tops and bottoms of these iceberg images that are popular online. Is there a level below, sinking deeper than the murky depths? I would say there is...

I recommend In A Lonely Place https://amzn.to/3OXLDM5 for those who want to remain in the top two levels of books like this.

There is the original version (I finally found it again!) of the image here https://imgur.com/a/3Y6UB5L as was posted by one 'shyplasterlord' on reddit a few years ago. It was in a thread on hundreds of them, but this iceberg floated to the top as it were :)

For those interested in the PDF that goes along with the Degree of Horror video, it is here: https://nightface.ca/Peever-Writing-Horror.pdf and the video  itself is here: https://youtu.be/vdt9il9zoks

I talk horror books; extreme horror, classic, slasher, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.

✮ Thank you! ✮
