Is there any disturbing books that aren't just in the horror genre that people know of? Maybe something quite profound, that would be delicious.

Topic: Hannibal vs Jigsaw

Posted: 11/08/09 01:02 PM

Forum: General

Hannibal is an interesting fellow - he's a smooth guy and has the thinking process of no other man. He's truly an ideal mastermind.

But then Jigsaw isn't the daftest brush either - he's figures a way to kill people without him doing the dirty work and so they kill themselves or others to try and save themselves. Of course, this is completely rooted from bitterness as he was diagnosed with cancer and so he hates those who are willing to throw their lives away when they have a nice wife, great kids and a good home.

Ah, I can't decide which is better.

At 11/8/09 12:24 PM, WritersBlock wrote: Remembered another one: Anthony Burgess's 'A Clockwork Orange'. Despite being one of the strangest books I've ever read (along with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time), it's totally intense with the brutal polar opposites of free-willed violence and torture-driven peace, a bit of a 'stuck between a rock and a hard place scenario', it's disturbing in the whole tone and coolness that it's told, real horrorshow.

I read both of those books when I was 14 and loved them. Some of the vocabulary used for A Clockwork Orange - although can be baffling - is great as it leaves you to think for yourself with what it could possibly mean. The fact that I prefer the book's ending over the movie's means that I believe it to be a must-read since that movie is actually one of my favourites of all time.

And while I'm at it: I loved the charm to The Curious Incident With The Dog In The Night-Time - the basic language usage is highly relevant to a child/teenage with asperger's syndrome and same with some of the behaviours of the main character, too - the ending actually nearly had me in tears. Powerful book - well researched - and from a skilled author. I need to get Mark Haddon's book about the mid-life crisis too since both of my parents are near to it, I could compare them and the book to each other. :P

Ever since I was about 9, I loved anything that was remotely disturbing. I guess you can say that I desensitized myself at such a young age, too (definitely after freely watching Last Measure). So, I guess you could say I get my jollies from reading something that pushes the envelope.

I've read extracts from that and it really is quite grotesque in parts - I've been meaning to buy the book for some time.

He's one of my favourite authors, and is one of the greatest horror writers. Even in his more 'fantasy' books.. there's still a bunch of fucked up shit.

Someone's been suggesting some of his stuff to me, actually. Doesn't sound too bad so I'll definitely have a look at some of his books.

Definitely, definitely what you're looking for.

Done, I've looked it up and it sounds great.

Is there any more books or novellas that people have found disturbing? I like to read a lot so if I can order a few books soon then it'll be great.

I've heard good things from Chuck Palahniuk so I'll probably look into that, actually.

I've also heard good things about House Of Leaves which is meant to put the reader in an uncomfortable disposition - would anyone suggest it?

I do hate it when other christians try to convert others against their will - what happened to respecting the beliefs of others? Christians simply shouldn't try to convert - I mean, if someone is to truly believe a religion, then it should be with their own thought process as we're not in a fucking communist country - democracy rules and all that jazz.

Recetly I've been wanting to read as much as I can and I prefer what I read to be something of a disturbing nature: maybe something grotesque; maybe something that makes you think; whatever. I'm posting here to see what NG would suggest reading that is considerably disturbing.

I'm already looking into Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs and Fear And Loathing by Dr. Hunter S Thompson is on my christmas list.

So, NG, what's a good disturbing read?

Topic: What's that video game?

Posted: 11/07/09 02:08 PM

Forum: Video Games

What's that video game where you play as a squirrel and you go on humorous adventures? One of the boss battles on the game has a cut-scene of a massive pile of shit singing "I am the great mighty poo and I'll throw my shit at you" just before you have to defeat him.

It was originally for Nintendo 64 and was re-released for Xbox with a multiplayer option with an army theme. I can't really remember much else except there's also a scarecrow at the beginning who's called "Birdy" or something like that.

Does anyone know the name of it?

Topic: What do you want for Christmas?

Posted: 11/07/09 09:08 AM

Forum: General

I originally wanted the new Beatles Remastered Box Set with all their studio releases and a DVD full of documentaries about the band but it's a bit too pricey so I'll have to plan getting that some other time.

At the moment, this is what is on my christmas list:
- Guitar Hero World Tour
- Guitar Hero Metallica
- Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland
- The Wrestler
- Mos Def's The Ecstatic
- Quadrophenia
- Fuck Buttons' Tarot Sport
- Moon
- Banksy "Chav Rat" T-shirt.

I know obviously that it'd be wishful thinking to get everything I want for christmas, but it's good to write a list of things and select a variety of stuff from the list for the day.

Salo: 120 Days Of Bodom;
Eraserhead;
Ichi The Killer;
Irreversible;
Enter The Void;
Requiem For A Dream;
The Shining;
Wild At Heart;
Blue Velvet;
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.

I'd say these films are fairly "fucked up" while also making a genuinely worthy movie.

Topic: Your Favorite Author And Book

Posted: 11/05/09 12:52 PM

Forum: General

H.P. Lovecraft might just be my favourite author at the moment - his brand of horror is rather intense and celestial; any other reader of Lovecraft will know that he has an amazing way with his words. Although his earlier works do contain subtle racist remarks, it all contributes to the amazing atmosphere the man can set.

My favourite novella by the guy might be Dagon, although I have yet to read the rest of his works (I've read The Cats Of Ulthar, The Statement Of Randolph Carter and The Doom That Came To Sarnath: currently reading Call Of Cthulhu - halfway through it).

A lot of his stories actually sound genuinely intriquing just from their titles, and trust me, when you start reading them you won't stop.
