They’ve got you covered, but it’s going to be a lot worse than The Deep. I wouldn’t really consider that extreme horror
The Girl Next Door might be a good place to start. I’ve never read it, but pretty much everyone I’ve talked to who has said they wished they hadn’t

You should read his book called The Troop.

*Tender Is The Flesh* is one of those horror books that is truly terrifying but in an American Psycho way. You are nauseous the entire time you read it and can’t quite believe you’ve read something so shocking and disturbing.
*The Wasp Factory* is one of the “best” books in the transgressive fiction landscape. It’s from the viewpoint of someone who is clearly quite troubled.
*Earthlings* is a strange and depressing story about a young girl who believes she is an alien. She forms a romantic connection with her young cousin who also plays along with the game. After they are discovered together, our MC’s life heads downhill fast. Verbal, physical, sexual abuse sculpts a now grown woman who seeks shelter in the idea that she is not of this world. Let’s just say the last 20 pages are not for the weak of heart.
I’ve never read it… but I’ve heard *Cows* by Matthew Stokoe might be just what you’re after

Goodreads description:
>Nicholas is a would-be poet and video-store clerk with a weeping hole in his hand – weeping not blood, but a plasma of tears…
>It began with Nakota and her crooked grin. She had to see the dark hole in the storage room down the hall. She had to make love to Nicholas beside it, and stare into its secretive, promising depths. Then Nakota began her experiments: First, she put an insect into the hole. Then a mouse…
>Now from down the hall, the black hole calls out to Nicholas every day and every night. And he will go to it. Because it has already seared his flesh, infected his soul, and started him on a journey of obsession – through its soothing, blank darkness into the blinding core of terror…
