Scary novels? I've read a few. Heck, I've even written one myself! That puts me in a peculiar position when it comes to breaking out my Top Disturbing Reads. One, because as I said, I've read a whole schmeer of 'em. And two, as a result of reading so many, I've developed a tolerance. I'm like some weirdo who's eaten so many ghost peppers that his tongue's gone numb--or an addict who has done so much junk that it takes a vanload to feel a buzz anymore. So when I say some of these books are your 100 percent gen-u-wine, soul-shredding, skull-crushing, fire-balling, run-over-by-a-dumptruck-driven-by-a-rabid-zombie disturbing-as-hell reads, I pray you take my word for it. I ain't funnin' with you, mmmkay? Beware, my friends. BEWARE! Credit to Nick Cutter on huffingtonpost.com
