bookz: ok so I want to get into reading again but i could never stand any book that didn't make me feel like garbage. i enjoy books that tell stories about sadness and despair. a book that will really make me want to curl up into a ball and cry, something that will cause me to question my entire life. So whats the deepest heaviest and darkest book that you have ever read?

Ah! A man of decent taste! Well, let's see.The Pale King is the posthumously published unfinished novel by David Foster Wallace, iit's about various ITS workers and their excruciatingly sad backstories and their now fucked up mentality.
There's also The Shining by Stephen King - if you havent read it then youre doing it wrong. Spiraling alcoholism and isolation plus an abusive mentality that only worsens with time. Also ghosts.
The Road was pretty sad.
Um. That's all for now
The Black Dawn series by Joseph D'Lacey was really fantastic. It's only two books, Black Feathers and The Book of the Crowman, and starts out just as the world is falling into an apocalyptic state. It's got a lot of dark bits, people (children too) getting tortured and killed, and the fucked up shit people will do just to better their interests. It's very well written, and I know I plowed through the first one, had to go buy the second one immediately.
House of Leaves is my recommendation, as rehashed as that may be. I found that book to be a very spiritual experience.
I also haven't read this one, but it sounds like something you'd like: The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti.

"House of Leaves" and "The Master and Margarita" are the two best book recommendations I've gotten from /x/
Mysteries - Knut Hamsun
It doesn't exactly fit what you want, but it'll stay with you. Highly recommended.

A quick description of Mysteries:
In a Norwegian coastal town, society's carefully woven threads begin to unravel when an unsettling stranger named Johan Nagel arrives. With an often brutal insight into human nature, Nagel draws out the townsfolk, exposing their darkest instincts and suppressed desires. At once arrogant and unassuming, righteous and depraved, Nagel seduces the entire community even as he turns it on its head—before disappearing as suddenly as he arrived.
