    I’ve been seeing so many videos on here and tiktok literally shitting on these books as if it’s a moral victory to view them as less than, so thank you for being unapologetic about your love for extreme horror

    Love these videos!!! Disturbing fiction is what got me back into reading. First it was the disturbing books iceberg on TH-cam and then deep diving into extreme horror and now I’m a legit adrenaline junkie looking for the craziest shit I can read out there lol

    I have read a lot of these books thanks to ur recs and loved them. The ones i havent read are on my kindle or i bought. TH-cam is in such a uproar about extreme horror books right now making me feel like a horrible person because i read them. But then meg posts a vlog and after i do my happy dance, i feel validated. thank u for letting me be myself. And for u being u! U really are an incredible person and makes us all thankful u do what u do for us!

      I am so oblivious to anything happening around me lol everyone keeps saying the internet is in an uproar and I’m like….where? Maybe because I don’t follow too many people idk 😂
      Read what you want and like what you like! There are just a lot of terrible authors who do questionable things so I’m trying to recommend the ones I know deserve recognition.
      Thank you 🩷🩷

    Okay for me I think the most disturbing books I’ve read are:
    His pain by Wrath James White
    I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
    A Short Stay In Hell (I know how you feel about this one but I digress lmao)
    Cows by Matthew Stokoe
    Along the Path of Torment by Chandler Morrison
    All You Can Eat by Shane McKenzie (idk if you’ve read this one but I highly recommend for your next extreme horror vlog!)
    Penpal by Dathan Auerbach
    And Baby in a Blender by Terry Musalata

    Thanks for the recs! I finally read Survivor, and it was a lot at times. 👀 lol. Have you read Only the Stains Remain by Ross Jeffery? I don’t typically cry reading books, but I did at the end of that one. 😢 I think because you’re reading through the perspective of the young brothers, it just hits different. It stood out to me above the rest of extreme horror because of the writing, and I appreciated some things weren’t spelled out and just left to the imagination. I’ve read The Groomer and Into the Wolves Den, and for some reason, this one has stuck with me longer.

      I completely understand! Honestly not off the top of my head it’s so hard to find them without ANY scenes like that but I also wish there were more. I also forget a lot of scenes that happen in books so sometimes I think a book doesn’t have something and it does

    Great choices! I'm in the minority, but I found No One Rides for Free to be too goofy to take seriously, definitely wasn't for me lol. Have you read Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite/Billy Martin? My horror book club just read this one and I have an iron stomach, but there were two scenes that made me take a break. One of the absolute best splatterpunk books ever written imo!
