    scary or disturbing book?

    I just read Truman Capote's In Cold BLood, I thought it was going to be way more graphic and/or disturbing. Does anybody have and ideas on good disturbing books. Fiction or non is probably even better. I want to get disturbed and even frightened by what I'm reading.

    What version of Metamorphosis?

    What version or translations of metamorphosis should i get. Robert Fagles translations of the iliad and the oddesy were excellent. I have the Vintage Classics version of The Aeniad, that I dont like that version so much.

    Yann Martel: Life of Pi

    I really enjoyed Life of Pi. It was a good read, not going to be a classic or anything, but good book none the less. Obviously the second ending with the people on the raft was what really happened, but he told it and thought of everything happening with the animals because he didnt want to...
