Maybe read about those Greek myths where the insane wild women follow Dyonisus and sprint about the hills tearing animals apart
Mythology has some parts on those

>Oh, sweet upon the mountain
>The dancing and the singing,
>The maddening rushing flight.
>Oh, sweet to sink to earth outworn
>When the wild goat has been hunted and caught,
>Oh, the joy of the blood and the raw flesh!

the colors and surreality/fantastical elements of this really call to mind a kind of obscure book called Taming Riki which is actually one of my favorites of all time. check it out

Legit recommendations: Ryu Murakami (In The Miso Soup, Piercing or Translucent Blue),
American Psycho (if you read it solely for the violence, but you may be disappointed as you won't reach that aspect of the book until the latter half),
120 Days of Sodom, yadda yadda.
