I’ve always felt that some things could only be expressed through transgression. This can be in subtle ways, like the anti-social protagonist of *No Longer Human,* or in less subtle ways, such as the explicit descriptions of violence in *Blood Meridian* or even the sexual deviation in *Beloved*. Aside from McCarthy’s novel, the two other titles are not necessarily transgressive. Most transgressive fiction I’ve come across seems anarchic or satirical, and I’m sure that’s ignorant as I don’t really read transgressive fiction, but at the same time, I have trouble looking for transgressive fiction that uses the conventions in a sincere, perhaps sentimental way. The closest I can get as an example is the film *All About Lily Chou Chou*, the graphic novel *Goodnight Pun-Pun*, and the book *Bastard Out of Carolina.*

Try invisible monsters.
From the author of fight club this involves a supermodel a runway model that through unusual circumstances ends up losing the bottom part of her face and becomes an invisible monster because people don’t want to look at things that are “deformed”
We know that fight club was about the pressure for men to become a perfect man they want to look like Brad Pitt fight like Brad Pitt and F**k like Brad Pitt but this takes another angle of men who want to look sexy and feminize themselves invisible monsters is actually an amazing read and I will give you an excerpt of the first page of the book just to let you know The type of experience that you are going to take when it comes to this book.
“**Evie is standing halfway down the big staircase in the Manor House foyer naked inside what’s left of her wedding dress, still with her rifle pointed at me, I’m standing at the bottom of the stairs but only in a physical way my mind is “I don’t know where nobody all the way dead yet” but let’s just say the clock is ticking**”.
(That’s page 1)
If you are looking for an amazing ride that is a little Under 300 pages than invisible monsters is definitely a book to check out
