The Room, by Hubert Selby
City of God, by Paulo Lins (third world brutality)
1984 honestly put me in a depressed/freaked out mood for some time.

Probably a /lit/ cliche at this point, but I'd say Blood Meridian. I've never been so horrified in my entire life.

It's not exactly spooky, but the portrayal of violence, savagery, and evil was nightmarish.

Songs of a Dead Dreamer an Grimscribe were republished recently and it's great so far.

2666 has some god-tier nightmare parts and the whole book is riddled with a dark undertone that terrified me because it's not a horror book and that fucked me up.

Uzumaki for spooky imagery.

Yeah but Ligotti can't end a story to save his life. I know it gets recc'd a lot but I'm gonna suggest Book of Blood by Clive Barker.

Are there really people who devote entire books to psudeo-science like skeletal anatomy? Are there "science" books on vampires too?

Fuck the consciousness shit, once I'm getting too aware of my nervous system I can't even lay and close my eyes to feel at peace.

Fun fact: your arms have two separate bones that shift in relation to one another as you twist your arm like in pic related.

Another fun fact: Most humans have enough bones in their bodies to build an entire human skeleton.
