Hello. I'm looking for a dark psychological book, whether it be fiction or non-fiction. I'm primarily a non-fiction reader, but I have dabbled in fiction. I'm not much of a judge of fiction as my list consists only of the more obscure Tolkien stuff and books such as Farenheit 451, Call of the Wild and Metamorphosis. Metamorphosis was the last book I read as I've started to search for darker books with psychological themes. If you can recommend me good fiction please do, but I'd mostly be interested in non-fiction, something that perhaps delves into uncomfortable subject matter.
Pref. 300 odd pages. To give you an idea, I'm thinking of something like The Better Angels of Our Nature, but not quite as large.
Thank you.

Thanks for the recommendations. Also, books about death would be good. And I don't mean edgy books, I mean mature explorations of death.

Blindsight by Peter Watts, it's scifi but the author was/is a biologist and he draws some interesting conclusions from real science. Definitely fits the "dark" criteria and the psychological themes are real neat.

Guilty by George's Bataille.
