Welcome to Disturbing Books for Disturbed Readers. I got tired of wading through a sea of bulk recommendations, reading through reviews, and still not knowing which books are a little creepy, and which books will make me physically ill. I am always searching for the most disturbing five-star books, so that is exactly what I recommend here. Some of these books may be gory, while others are more psychologically or emotionally disturbing, but every recommendation is a book that shocked, disturbed, or traumatized me, while I enjoyed every second of it. If this is what you are looking for, then follow along, and I hope you find your next favorite read here.
