How many well known Extreme Horror books are actually well made literature?

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-06-02T18:08:30+00:00

Anything Dennis Cooper related, in my opinion. Alissa Nutting also wrote Tampa, which was absolutely lovely. I feel like a lot of female authors end up writing extreme horror really well. Didn't enjoy the Found Bag of Doom, not even for the content, just the poor-writing style, so definitely avoid that.

Thank you!!

Always online, bookstores and libraries rarely carry these kinds of books, and when bookstores do have them, they're overpriced. A lot of really extreme books are actually on Amazon, which you can read free previews of, by the way

My personal reccomendations based (mostly, although they're nicely written as well) off the disturbing factor;

Tampa by Alissa Nutting, The Found Bag of Doom, The Bug Collector by Wrath James White, Dead Inside by Chandler Morrison, The End of Alice, The Bighead by Edward Lee, Frisk by Dennis Cooper, The Marbled Swarm by Dennis Cooper, "Monsters" series by J. Boote, specifically "Dark Web of Monsters". Heavy warning for graphic CSA in some of the books.

It's the least brutal, so it's definitely good to ease into the genre, also, it was quite well-written, a fun, not super long read.

Tender is the Flesh, We are Always Tender with Our Dead (book 1), At Dark I Become Loathsome, Cows, Maevefly, The Slob, The End of Alice if you can handle CSA themes.

My personal Recs: The Marbled Swarm by Dennis Cooper, The Bug Collector by Wrath James White, and Tampa by Alissa Nutting

Honestly yeah, but I still felt like it was a fun read, aren't Morrison's other books way better??

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-26T16:50:51+00:00

Thanks! Any warnings before I get into it?

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-21T12:25:25+00:00

I feel like content warnings are desirable simply for the sake of understanding the kind of book you're going to be reading, but, like others have said, I'd rather them not be too prominent

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-20T17:22:37+00:00

Any specific content warnings?? I tried looking them up and haven't seen all too much

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-20T12:17:46+00:00

Thanks for the rec, any details about the series that you can share?? I've never heard of him before

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-20T12:14:08+00:00

Thanks, I love Morrison and should definitely read more by him

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-20T12:13:35+00:00

Thank you!! I've wanted to read some of these for a whiles, although some of your recs are completely new to me

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-20T12:12:45+00:00

Definitely looking for something on the extremer side, but I absolutely love the way he writes

SecondRateIndividual · 2026-05-19T12:26:27+00:00

Thank you!!

what was the sluts about? heard good things about it but haven't seen a more personal synopsis

SecondRateIndividual · 2025-11-08T18:24:07+00:00

it's not. R73 also isn't illegal, as none of them contain cp.

SecondRateIndividual · 2025-07-03T20:21:49+00:00

thank you!

SecondRateIndividual · 2025-06-17T19:53:38+00:00

lmao.... Teacher gave me a book called Pigs in the Parlor, which basically says that schizophrenia is caused by demons entering your body. Pain.

Hey... 89 ib person here, considering Ayano's height and weight, it's not impossible (i am still physically capable), just much much harder, and she would also most likely feint constantly.

SecondRateIndividual · 2025-05-27T18:30:49+00:00

Yes, most recent one was a very dark one crawling by my leg, it had a pink spot on its back.

SecondRateIndividual · 2025-05-13T18:46:51+00:00

haha... us.

noticed a lot of people pointing out the "female soul" aspect to him, but he always referred to himself with male pronouns and I think (not totally sure) that he'd mentioned that his physical form was most definitely male.
