I love disturbing books but so many authors are try hard edgelords who only consider shock value and nothing else which really falls flat for me (Cows by Matthew Stokoe comes to mind right away lol) what are some good disturbing novels with good stories/messages? Thanks a lot!

Non-fiction but The Indifferent Stars Above about the Donner Party was fascinating and horrifying. Very well written and certainly a disturbing set of circumstances and decisions that the party faced. Just when you think things are hellish enough, everything that can go wrong seemingly does to make things worse.

The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein disturbed me
