Most violent book you know of?

[The Greek]

Whats the most violently fucked up book you know of? And by that I mean violence in an unconventional way.

For an example, lord of the rings is hella violent, but thats not the sort of violence I'm talking about.

Think more along the lines of fight club, or better yet, clock work orange and american psycho. Those type of books. List what you can.

[The Greek]

Fear and loathing in las vegas also has some mentions some fucked up violence, but its not exactly a good example of what I'm talking about.

The Koran. And the Old Testament. Kinda the New Testament too.

Very true. But I kinda meant novels. I suppose I should have specified. Although I suppose this thread wouldn't be complete without your suggestions.

[Darkhunter]

The Prince of Thieves (The Town,) Clive Barker's Hellbound Heart, Cabal and Books of Blood, The Godfather, Dearly Devoted Dexter, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dexter in the Dark, Zodiac and Zodiac Unmasked, Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper. I could go on and on.

[The Greek]

^Please go on and on, those are all good suggestions.

The Serial Killers Club, House of Leaves, Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King's Dark Tower Series, The Stand, The Langoliers, Rage (So bad they stopped printing it after Columbine,) and Black House, Forgotten Realms Shadowdale, Tantras, Waterdeep, Prince of Lies, Crucible: Trial of Cyric the Mad, and R.L. Stine's the Snoman.

I really have no more off the top of my head.

The Turner Diaries

[The Greek]

Thats ok, thats quite a lot. I doubt I will ever read all of those. This thread is already a massive success.

You are welcome.

[The Greek]

^I've already looked into that book, but I don't like how the last half isn't complete. I'm not reading it for that reason. If I liked the story, that would just be a huge let down. The last half is in like point form or some shit like that.

But yes, that is the type of thing I'm looking for. Sexual violence is welcome but not mandatory.

[Charles Manson]

The Dark Tower 2: the drawing of the three.


That fucking book is pretty wild.

Cool ass mafia style new york/chicago(cant remember) type of scene at the end.

Fucking great book.
Best of the series.



on a semi-related not, my favorite book i ever read was also by stephen king,

it was called insomnia.

Fucking INSANE.

[Satyr]

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess seems like an obvious choice.

Great read. Violent, yes.. but there's a lot more to it than that.

Drawing of the Three was my favorite of those books. I did like the bar fight in 6 I think but 7 was absolute garbage especially the ending.

Read rage. Kid goes postal in his high school.

My local library won't carry it, and I feel odd going up to ask for this author and title.

You found that especially violent? Maybe I am desensitized but it was pretty damn tame from what I remember.

Already read it and mentioned it in the op.

There was lots of gang rape and violence via milk jugs and giant ceramic cocks.

lol... gotta love using milk and cocks as weapons.

And yes, in comparison to American psycho, or worse, 120 days of sodomy, clock work orange is tame. But its definitely in the vein of fucked up violence.

that's pussy shit. read jack ketchum

[Satyr]

Oh, damn.. Didn't see you mentioned Clockwork Orange already. Though in the book he didn't use a ceramic penis to kill the old woman, but a bronze statue of Beethoven.

Well, the book isn't gory and stuff. I think it's the pointlessness of the violence. The violence just being for fun.

That, and the fact that the reader grows to sympathize for Alex, or even like him, despite his cruel deeds.

Hogg - Samuel Delany

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogg_%28novel%29

At the time it was written, no one would publish it due to its graphic and copious descriptions of murder, homosexuality, child molestation, incest, coprophilia, coprophagia, urolagnia, anal-oral contact, necrophilia and rape.

[virgil caine]

read filth random parts of the book are from the perspective of the guys tapeworm and a really deranged police officer

it has some super fucked up things like when he forces some 14 year old girl to gobble his cock with terrible flaky excima all over it or get taken in for drugs

That sounds a lot like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103759/

[Iskalla]

Exquisite Corpse is pretty brutal.

Blackburn by Bradley Denton.

Jimmy Blackburn wants his revenge on the assholes of the world and he gets it.

Stevie wonder said that the cheesegrader was the most violent book he ever read

Haven't read this, only the first chapter...It was fucking brutal though.

[Vic Mackey]

Blood Meridian

[5.56 SS109]

Without Remorse by Tom Clancy is pretty violent, obviously not on the same level as some previously mentioned books though.

[BitterConflict]

The Bible.

Was going to say that. Thanks man.

[reggie_love]

There's a lot of them. With books there's no limitation on content other than what people can imagine, so there's a lot of very graphic works out there. As for the most violent books I can think of that are worth reading, well:
• Just about anything by Cormac McCarthy
• Just about anything by Chuck Palahniuk (he's really the go-to author for anything graphic)
• American Psycho by Brent Easton Ellis

And then there are trashier (i.e. poorly written) works like Unintended Consequences, Turner Diaries, etc. If you're interested in the whole right wing violence thing.

I'd also suggest some non-fiction. Nothing's more fucked up and graphic than human history. I'm sure there's all kinds of graphic literature about the Holocaust, Unit 731, recent warfare in Africa and the Balkans, etc.

The Soft Machine - William S. Burroughs

Most of the entire book revolves around the act of being hanged while jerking off and then cumming, but then also about using that act as a means of switching bodies with someone.

There's a weird part about a guy fucking a priest who turns into a giant crab.

Also, Naked Lunch by the same author.

Also, Invisible Monsters and Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk, same with Rant.

[Star Wars Fan]

^Bloodlands deals with Eastern Europe and Soviet Eurasia between WWI to the 1950s. The Holodomor, Molotov-Ribbentrop, Barbarossa, GeneralPlan Ost, Soviet revvenge against German civilians, etc.

also Anthony Beevor's stuff like I think Stalingrad and Berlin/Downfall or w/e it is countts too

Lol, I was thinking of mentioning Burroughs but I don't want to answer every post in the book forum with Burroughs, Burroughs, Read fucking Burroughs NOW!!!

[crazzyass]

American Psycho definitely tops my list.
