Books that ****ed you up
there is really only one book that left me disturbed for quite some time after reading it, and it is Aztec by Gary Jennings.
Has anyone here read it as well? Did you feel the same way, and are there other books that leave you with a similar feeling? Quote:

I actually had to stop reading The Peloponnesian War by Donald Kagan - there were so many parallels between the decline of Athens and the path that America is on now that it was too depressing to finish.

Lights Out by David Crawford, our power went out as I was finishing it, read the last 100pages or so by candle light.
That really trips you out. Posted via Mobile Device |

Blood Meridian. I wasn't as disturbed by the Judge as some people seem to be but some of the descriptions of violence in this book made me physically ill.

I'm in the middle of Insomnia now, it takes a while to get going I presume... (As with most SK books). I was thinking about starting Desperation next.
I guess the only one that really blew my ****in mind was IT. The ending was so bizzare. |

Watching again now, not a book but a TV episode. Episode 4 of American Horror Story this season.
A bunch of really creepy shit being covered up because those who know 'the truth' are homos, alcoholics, or sexually active teens. Such a corrosive and slanted message. Don't have a beef with 'the other' but to suggest that the world is an amalgam for pure evil distilled for the sole purpose to keep them down is disturbing in 2012.
