Need help looking for a good read

[Maryd.]

Hi all,

Was wondering if someone can help me. I am looking at reading something gory and exciting. Any suggestions.

I haven't read many 'gory' books. Years ago I read Jurassic Park and seem to remember it being quite gory. It's the novel the films were based on but I'm pretty sure it was more exciting than the films. Wish I could help more but I just can't think of many books meeting your description I've read.

[Maryd.]

Yea, thanks dark lady, anyway.

Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. It's not reeaallyy gory, but very interesting.

[Maryd.]

Thanks Classic,

Will think about that one.

Try reading Borowski's collection of stories "This Way for Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen and Other Stories"..

[Maryd.]

Thanks guys,

I think with all these responses, I am going to be busy for weeks.

Can't wait to get stuck into them.

Jackal by Frederick Forsyth.

Titus Andronicus

Oh dear, yeah that one was gory, kind of nauseating too lol :D

[FalseReality]

Try reading Bukowski's collection of stories "This Way to the Gas Station, Ladies and Gentlemen and Other Stories"..


It's "This way for gas, ladies and gentlemen."
But yes, it is a great read and I remember being misled by the title and thinking something along the lines of "oh sh**"

American Psycho is probably the most graphic/violent/twisted thing I ever read.

This Way for the Gas... is by Borowski.

This Way for the Gas... is by Borowski.

Wow, yes it is. Tadeusz Borowski I'm sorry I missed that.

But anyway, another suggestion would be Fight Club or In Cold Blood.

In Cold Blood isn't gory, it's just very thrilling and disturbing

[FalseReality]

In Cold Blood isn't gory, it's just very thrilling and disturbing

from what I remember the murder part is, though yes, it is only a small part of and happens in the middle of the book.

[Maryd.]

Great, guys,

I see I am not the only person who likes reading the odd - weird book. I look forward to reading some all of the suggestions made. But with this list I probably won't have time for anything else. :)

Thanks again.

Depends on what you consider "gore"
I mean, there was blood and they got shot in the head. That's not "gore" to me.

[Maryd.]

Hi Limajean,

What do you consider gore?

Little Mary

[Zee.]

Gore?

American Psycho is gore.

Hi Limajean,

What do you consider gore?

Murdering and baking two brothers into a pie, and then having their mother eat it?

[Maryd.]

Gosh Mayneverhave,

That should do it... It certainly is gory. Is that from a particular book? I wouldn't mind reading that.

Hi Lima,

I am having trouble finding American Psycho at my local library. May have to go into the city library to get it. Mind you I am always there. Anyway thanks.

thank you for noting that March Hare..I'm half-asleep perhaps when I did the post:)

lol..thanks for that.

These are all great ideas guys, but I am having a terrible time finding them in my local library. Actually I haven't even found one. I ended up borrowing some boring book... It is putting me to sleep. Mind you it isn't the genre I was looking for, (more the 'whodunit' kind of thing) so I guess I only have myself to blame.

The only gory books the local library stocks is Vampire one's. So looks like I will just have to head into town to find what I am looking for.

Carrie-Stephen King?
