Anyone seen the 1975 film based on The 120 days of Sodom?

......yeah.

Add Torture Garden and The Cannibal Within to the list.

Ya, not that good.

The most disturbing, violent, pornographic book I have ever read (not entirely, I couldn't) is probably not The 120 Days of Sodom, nor The Story of the Eye, nor American Psycho, but Hogg by Samuel Delany.

My latest disturbing book is "Down by the River" by Edna O'Brien, it deals with incest and abortion.

The eating of the food with nail disturbed me more than anything..

[Mr.lucifer]

For some reason, people praise that movie as great art.

[OrphanPip]

The same director made an X-rated adaptation of some of the Canterbury Tales, but I haven't been able to get a hold of it.

It's certainly part of the porno-chic movement of the 70s, but it's not the best out of that period. I think the French film, Le Bete/The Beast, is a bit better, playing on themes of incest, bestiality, and human animalistic sexuality, without all of the sadism.

None of the works mentioned here are nowhere as disturbing as the things I've read. Even the story of the eye pales to the things I've seen.

You can find all those on the internet for free. They're all written on the internet in fact. Just look them up. All of them are disturbing and horribly written. Some of them involve child rape descrobed on horrible written graphic detail, nearly of them are written rape fetishists(I'm serious, most of them are meant to be erotic), and nearly of them contain disturbing sexual acts meant to erouse but come off as severly depraved. The works by comicsnix are the only ones on that list that were not the author's sexual fantasies and were meant to shock the reader.

[Patrick_Bateman]

If they're horribly written and the authors' are just putting their disgusting thoughts down in words then what is the purpose of reading them?

[Gizlam]

I personally found The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I found the cannibalistic scenes in the novel terrifying especially with the juxtapostioning of the kind humanity which also permeates the piece.

I find novels which dont just go with purely violence but show flickers of humanity or goodness far far far more disturbing as it brings you out of the disgusting level to make it even worse when you get back to it.

Bile facisination.

[Ghuyuran]

Aliss by Patrick Sénécal is a modern retelling of the story of Alice in Wonderland with Montreal as the setting. A lot of disturbing scenes in there, all either sexual or violent. The girl wants to go on live on her own and she rapidly learns life isn't that pretty.

I do not know if the translation from French is available yet or will.

[MrsWentworth]

Don't know if someone has already mentioned this one, but 'Purfume' is a pretty strange read.
