I read EXTREME horror books for a week and now I need therapy (disturbing and disgusting horror)

Hello Creeps! I decided to read extreme horror books for a week and this is what happened. Some of these books were enjoyable and others were absolutely vile and awful. Let me know what extreme horror books you've read and if there are any that are worth it.

The moment you title a book "baby in a blender" you automatically forfeit the right to be taken seriously

The most disturbing book I read was during highschool called “The Compound.”
It’s not even a horror book but it was rather its twist that I found horrifying.
It’s an about a family that has been stuck living in a bunker for a decade after the end of the world when their food situation turns dire.

It’s probably super tame in comparison to these books, and it’s been several years since I read it, but that twist still forever haunts me.

I don’t want to give it away but here it is for people that might now want to read it:

The story is from the perspective of the son watching how his parents and older sister are dealing with bunker life.
Later on he realizes that the world never actually ended and it was all an elaborate hoax made by his dad and the food situation was solved by the dad continuously impregnating the wife and using the those children as meat.
I think it was implied the dad would also impregnate the sister.
It didn’t go into intense detail, but the thought is still horrifying nonetheless.

I feel like the problem with extreme horror is there's curiosity about 'hoboy how far does the edgy hole of edge go' then there's just straight-up fetish content masquerading as horror if that makes sense.

No page numbers?! What kind of sick monster publishes a vile abomination like that?! Clearly the most disturbing entry of the bunch!

[dennyt]

I feel like just by purchasing some of these books you're on a list.

Looked at a plot summary for baby in a blender and I think reading dipper goes to Taco Bell would have the same effect! Writing extreme gore with no other substance doesn’t make you cool, it makes you look like a fcking weirdo.

The razor blade on slides is actually a legit thing people have done. I remember seeing it covered on a news segment a couple years back.😬

[kellyramjan]

I feel like good horror to me makes you squirm but also has a purpose and not mindless trauma dumping

[SaintJezehell]

The thing that puts me off extreme horror is that it often relies on two things: absurd gore and fucked up sexual stuff. That, and bad writing. It’s hard enough to find quality writing.
It just doesn’t take talent to think “what is really fucked up?” you know? There is no nuance, nothing cerebral, the story is trite or wasted on gore.
I have so many pet peeves with writing and have chucked many book across my room. 😂

"It has animal violence..."
Me: Nope, I'm out.
"...but I should clarify that it is violence by animals, not to animals, if that makes a difference, sicko."
Me: Yes, that makes all the difference, I'll stay.

[haleydarko]

I like the gore in extreme horror but it's the sexual crimes described in there that I don't enjoy. Like it's not scary its just disgusting imo.

[Daelyah]

Might as well have called this video "Dead Dove: DO NOT READ"

[squidwardtentacles]

Definitely goes to show that you don't have to be extreme or shocking to be scary. That's why I love psychological horror because it relies on unknown and messes with your expectations.
The problem with extreme horror is that it takes everything to such a high degree that it's ludicrous or absurd and it's harder to take seriously. Also I think grossing you out isn't same as bring scary but there's sub genre of gross out horror which I don't see any merit in, but to each their own. I just think anything in excess is probably not good in long run but that's my take.

[SINFUL]

I can't stand anything that involves children being sexually abused. So I am glad I saw this that way I can scratch "playground" off my list.

[gleeapologist]

playground could honestly be a huge hit if geraldine’s backstory/sexual stuff wasnt as in your face as it is. the actual playground storyline is so good and creative, i understand wanting to push boundaries and make it disturbing but i feel like it still wouldve been if geraldine’s storyline was more toned down.

[shadows-sweet-embrace]

Honestly, a lot of these books just feel like someone's weird fetish🧍I might sound pretentious, but I prefer my horror to have a point, something it's trying to say.

[tonystales]

This was funny. As a writer myself, I can honestly say sometimes I find it difficult to describe a particularly gruesome scene when I am also trying to convey something about the weight of the unfolding events, while still trying to keep it slashy, cutty, bleedy, but still slightly classy. Namean?

[mikepratt]

I've dabbled in a few extreme horror books, and I've come to the realization that, without a good story, explicit over-the-top horror just for the sake of shock value becomes boring and cartoonish. I'm just gonna stick with "regular" horror and splatterpunk!

The only Baby in a Blender genre I recall reading was Mai-chan's daily lord

[Advrik]

I read The Girl Next Door in a day and a half last week and it's still haunting me. First extreme horror book I ever read, and phew! What a trip.
