Intense stuff

Sup guys

I just finished reading The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum
I thought it was really good

Now I’m looking for a book which you’ll never forget. You know what I mean? a really powerful horror novel which has a lot of suspense and is extremely intense.

So could you help me out in this and start naming books you feel that are like this and you have enjoyed a lot, thanks

The Wasp Factory

by Iain Banks

It's about a 16 year-old boy with "issues" living in a remote Scottish town.

excerpt:
"Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my younger brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I'd disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim.
That's my score to date. Three. I haven't killed anybody for years, and I don't intend to ever again.
It was just a stage I was going through."

it made me squirm

You could try something by Tim Lebbon. His works pretty much all have that oppressive, impending doom atmosphere to them. I'd start with White and Other Tales of Ruin. "White" in particular is one of the most powerful, disturbing things I've ever read.

This maybe a meaningless suggestion, as the book is almost impossible to find, but....
Ninth And Hell Street by Chas. Balun is a gut shurning book. Such graphic gore ridden death scenes that you shouldn't be eating while reading it......
