Read a book about Fred & Rose West a few years back, forget the name (not Happy Like Murderers, another one). I love true crime books but it was a while before I could read another one again after this. One of their victims was pregnant and Rose performed, an, er, impromtu abortion. With her hands.

I must check out that site again.

On the subject of the Wests, I also read a book, I think it was called 'She Must Have Known' which claimed that Rose was a victim of a miscarriage of justice. That she was basically convicted on the premise that, as the murders were carried out in her house, by her husband, she must have known and ergo, taken part. There was very little, if any, hard evidence against her but after reading the other West book, she comes accross as the one who really really enjoyed hurting people.

There is worse chuck out there

Just thought of another one - an Irvine Welsh book. Goddamit why can't I remember titles today? The one about a group of friends, spans 20 years or so. Glue! That's it. Some dogs die in a very horrible way.

Aren't you thinking of Marabou Stork nightmares?

That book is a barrel of laughs. Rape, incest, really gross animal cruelty....

No, this is yet another tale of dug torture! Does Welsh not like dogs or summat?

The story of Saint Gut-Free in Palaknuks 'haunted' Is wildly funny and horribly gross too.

The Sunday Independent is pretty repugnant

as is The Sunday World

I might have picked you up wrong, Im going for disturbing rather than "eeeeeooooooow" here.

In Last Exit To Broklyn the scene of Rosie's rape is particularly harsh as is the curcifixion of Harry. Irvine Welsh has a "nice" discription of a lads face being sliced open with a knife that sort of just leaps out of nowhere in very short quick prose, as callous as the knifing itself.

Probably quite lightweight but I was revolted by the human skinning episode in Murakami's Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I don't think I've read any full-on disgusting stuff.

 

[piratio]

Anne Rice's 'take' on Sleeping Beauty is the only piece of literature I've
had to stop, take a breath, have a think about whether to continue and then carry on. It's not 'gross' in the fulci/argento way but it's pretty dark. I've read [ & relished] most Easton-Ellis, some [but hopefully soon, all] Palahniuk, some pretty dark "amatuer" erotic fiction [usually anon.] but this is the deep-inhalation-in-the-petrol-station of tummy tumblers.

enjoy
