I found The Wasp Factory through Interstellar...it is one of the books that is visible in the first shot of the film and a favourite of director Christopher Nolan.

Read a few Palaniuk books years ago. Ironically, the last one I picked up was Haunted, read a little, put it down temporarily, and never got back to it. It’s been sitting on the shelf for a decade. I think you’ve inspired me to pick it up again.

Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The book plays a lot more on the underlying paedophilia that was absent from the film. Which adds even more depth to the story. Amazing film, even better book.

I loved Wasp Factory and agree that it is a deeply disturbing book! I read a collection of short stories by Poppy Z Brite called Are You Loathesome Tonight. She is a great writer and I have no problem with gory horrors, but her "sex"scenes turn me off. I have no problem with subtle suggestion but her constant ball to ball, homoerotic fantasies in her writing makes me cringe.

It's not typically listed as horror, but it's absolutely up there with the most horrific books ever written. Johnny Got His Gun. Also, re:Sarah. While the protagonist was assigned male at birth, the correct pronouns to use because she identifies as female are she/her. Just as you get it right about Brite. I know you mean no harm....just hope it helps. I met Palahniuk and spoke with him for nearly an hour during his stop in DC whilst he was conducting his Haunted Tour. Yep.....someone passed out. His name is pronounced Paula- Knuck( like knuckle). Folks ask him that at every damn reading. :) If I told you how it tasted, you'd never, ever eat callamari again.....

@@AdrianStoneisdead: You disagree with your creator, the very Author of truth. Is _He_ deluded but you're right? I don't know who those names are and I don't ponder much about the moon landing. (Isn't it interesting that you spout a million graspings at any available straw and ignore the one thing you know you can't refute or overthrow--the authority and truth of your creator--In God We Trust, one nation under God, all men are created... Yeah, you can talk it [your country's references to your maker] but you can't walk it.) In Sodom and Gomorrah they refused to take cognizance of the creator's moral standard for sexual behaviour, Rule VII of X. "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Exodus 20:14. When our creator (of moral beings--that's us) was here 2,000 years ago to do the gospel for us, i.e., the Good News of the exchanging of life's records, replacing our sinful life with His perfect life, our guilty with His NOT guilty so we can prepare ourselves for judgment, for those who believe in Him as Saviour and ask Him to set them free from sin, He explained, "Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Matt. 5:28. In other words, our creator forbids _adulterating,_ making impure, doin' the nasty, the impure act of fornication even in the imagination. And He was talking hetero style when He said it. So imagine how much more He'd forbid fornication in actual reality, not just thinking it in our dirty minds, _any_ style, hetero or not. Follow? And in light of the events which took place in Sodom and Gomorrah back during the time of Abraham and his nephew Lot (Genesis 19:1-11), I think the creator has made it abundantly clear that He quite forbids, condemns, and punishes any type of same-sex sexual relations. And He set up Sodom and Gomorrah as an "example" (Jude 7) for future generations to learn from (a warning shot echoing down through the corridors of time), and whoever refuses to learn from sacred history is condemned to repeat it. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah refused to recognize the distinction between male and female, specifically that God only allows sex between two heteros, _and_ only if they're married to each other first, and instead they were having sex, guys with guys. Sodom, sodomy. Make the connection. And God destroyed them. The wages of _sin_ is death. Jesus died for our sins. It is sin that merits death. Jesus killed everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah for sin. He doesn't kill people for _not_ sin. If He killed them for "fornication, going after strange flesh," then fornication is a sin, using simple deductive reasoning. Sin is breaking the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:3-17), the rules that apply to us, the creator's standard of right-doing, and the criteria He'll use to judge us at the end, guilty or NOT guilty, the justice system. And the seventh one forbids adulterating, making impure (sexual impurity, fornication, what brought God's judgment, i.e., punishment, down on Sodom). That means we have to recognize gender, "male and female He created them," and He does not condone fudging gender differences. That's why it's a moral issue. Sex is only morally right if it's between _one man_ and _one woman,_ and only _after they marry._ "Fornicators and adulterers do not inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor. 6:9, 10, Rev. 21:8.

​@@zobowithashotgun Yes, it's definitely a personal thing when it comes to what we find disturbing. As a kid I saw this movie where a girl gets bitten on the cheek by a spider in the night. She wakes up with a swelling there are it seems to shift so she squeezes it and a spider crawls out. And then another. And then another [it cuts to another scene then] we seen dozens of them all over her and she's panicking. Eventually she smashes her head into a mirror and uses a shard to skin herself from forehead to eyes and MILLIONS of baby spiders pour out from under her face. That scene fucked me up and left me with a phobia that I only just got over a 30. I've seen the scene since and the CGI is BAD. It's laughable. Most people would just laugh at it. I think the main reason I wasn't by Wasp Factory is the twist (which was cool and I didn't see coming)...it wouldn't have bothered ME. Like if my parents told me I was biologically female...I really would care lol.

Then there is that one line in the book where he says “none of this is really happening” that makes me wonder if the whole thing was just a hallucination in his warped mind - which I was hoping was true!

I wasn't really sure on the film to be honest 🤔 I felt that the book (as is always the case) was so much more upsetting and disturbing, though if you're someone who goes into the film before the book, the shock value does it justice :)

@@jamieparry3686 I do agree! I think that books are always more disturbing because the level of detail is higher, and we have our own imaginations to help make it even worse for us!

American Psycho may be Ellis' best work. And it says something about the author. He knew what the 80s was all about. And it wasn't pretty. It was the era of Reagan and Thatcher, of defunded mental health and the beginnings of the rot of capitalism we live with today. The soul of the 80s was truly Patrick Bateman. PS: I might not have subscribed if you were just a Zobo. But a Zobo *With a Shotgun?* I had to!

Wow, I really didn't expect Haunted to be on the top of this list. It's one of my least favorite Palahnuiks. The vignettes in themselves are good (some definitely better than others) but the over-arching story requires so much suspension of disbelief for me that it just didn't disturb me at all, similar to how the violence in a show like South Park doesn't really have an impact.

"American Psycho" is a masterpiece. It is so brilliantly written: “…there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there." ^Come on, that some literary genius shit going on there, And there are MANY other quotes just as amazing.
