So, I just start reading naked lunch expecting to be gruesome, but anyhow, what's the most fucked up you have read? and why?

Teatro Grotesco by Thomas Ligotti
I think some of the stories are body horror like Naked Lunch and I like ones that are creepy underneath the surface rather than conventionally trying to scare you.

looks nice, I'm searching for the troop by nick cutter as well, have you read it?
Horacio Quiroga - Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte(Tales of love madness and death)
Exactly what it says it is. I read it when i was really young and don't remember the details, but it had gruesome scenes of the death of a horse (iirc), children killing children, etc...

already read it and in spanish, not that gruesome
Off Season (unexpurgated edition), by Ketchum or
Hogg, by Delany
Ogawa Yoko Is better known around here for her, very good, novella "The professor and the equation" (I might have that title slightly wrong). But she wrote a small collection of short stories called "The diving pool" that, while not explicitly 'sick' or disturbed, has a really palpable undercurrent of horror and unease to it.
All non-fiction, especially from wars or conflict zones
Shake Hands With The Devil, written by the commander of the UN troops during the Rwanda Genocide, for example is terrifying.
Or People Who Eat Darkness, about a string of rapes and murders in Japan by one guy
And I've read most modern horror (Ligotti etc.) but these non-fiction
Kozinski - The Painted Bird
A lot of detailed descriptions of brutal killings and rapes, removals of body parts, etc., involving adults as well as children as young as five. Also just a good book in general. Gets some hate on here because the author misleadingly claimed some/all of the book to be autobiographical when it was first published, but whatever.

Depends of your sense of fuked up, but I really liked Story of the Eye, also My Mother, Madame Edwarda and The Dead Man (all of the by Georges Bataille). If you're a lot into gay stuff try Our Lady of the Flowers, it's not THAT fucked up, but it has its moments. Then there's Confessions of a Mask by Mishima, where there's the homoerotic fantasy parts where there's a bit of fucked-up shit. If you care also about literature itself try Gravity's Rainbow, It's really good and there's also bits of really (REALLY) fucked up shit regarding sex (sometimes physicaly but specially psychologically).

Oh, well, also Lautreamont, if you didn't already know Les Chants de Maldoror. The surrealists loved that shit (and they were the EDGIEST of their time).
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. It's exactly what you're looking for.
