Lolita.
It made me question my sexual preference, I'm not even into little girls.
>>8018510
>>8018527
I've seen the movie.
It's a certain scene/passage in the novel "Blindness" by Jose Saramagoduring an apocalyptic event one group of survivors gets the upper hand over several others. First they demand money and valuables. When those are exhausted they demand sex from the women. The husbands and relatives can't do a thing about it.
/adv/ posts, I'm not even joking.

Those are the Elliot Rogers of the future, it starts like that.
Requiem for a Dream and Last Exit to Brooklyn is a close second. Selby was a fucking master of raw psychological horror and gritty urban realism.
>>8016259
So true my good gent[le]sir! What say you we return to the euphoric realm of reddit and discuss rationality, science, and beauteous m'ladies?
>>8018629
well tbqh the bible is unsettling in some ways.
song of solomon for example.
what do you think ?
>>8018586
why, they gave him reasonable advice
>Obviously dont tell her opie you idiot. Don't tell anyone ever and hope she is too dumb to put 2 and 2 together. If she asks you could say you seen a stray dog wandering around and it might have got attacked or something. Just dont kill anymore animals or humans, its not nice.
that's basically what i wanted to say too
>>8018647
Half of the other brick is in her yard. Everyone's been omitting this.
And I thought I was bad at logic.
>>8018674
Also blood on the brick..... ffs
>>8016056
The Tunnel
>>8018674
so what? i actually would suggest him to say that he simply didn't know anything without inventing any dogs
as for the brick
>Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?
is he a keeper of the brick? he don't know anything, the burden of proof isn't on him
>>8016056
Notes From Underground
>>8018689
reddit: the book
The Trial was pretty fucking unnerving
>>8018631
>I have never read Bernard of Clairvaux
>the post
>>8016259
the fact that anyone actually takes it seriously is pretty unsetting imho :P
>>8016056
Alright I've never posted here before so I'm probably gonna get ass-blasted for this butEither House Of Leaves or John Dies At The End
>>8018751
>reddit has heard of Gass
lol. If you're lucky the most demanding writer redditors have heard of is PKD maybe.
Infinite Jest, in hindsight. Johnny Gentle is Donald Trump
>>8018695
That's not how people work though. She never has to prove it, just "know" it internally. Which could lead to nothing or people raping his mum. Who knows?
berensteins fucked me up pretty hard
Books have never unsettled me. They're just fiction. Even the supposed non-fictions.

LIKE A DOG.
The King in Yellow
>>8018777
The ending is pretty fucking unsettling
>>8016056
One particular story in Songs of a Dead Dreamer by Ligotti is pretty unsettling. I think it was called Dr. Voke and Mr. Veech, or something like that. Really unnerving stuff. There was another story in Teatro Grottesco that unsettled me quite a bit as well, though the name escapes me.
>>8016057
gay
>>8016056

It unsettled me because some of the stories made me want to kill myself.

I thought it was a weirdly distorted Mickey Mouse from the thumbline
>>8016056
Book of Lies
>>8018535
I read this too, although young enough to where it didn't bother me so much. Insight into permavirgin despair.
>>8018605
