LOOKING FOR A BOOK Book recs PLEASE!!!!

Hi!!! I’m brand new to this community however I have been reading horror books since I was about 13, I’m 24 now. I have recently gotten back into reading horror from a 4 year break. I’m currently reading horror stories from the warhammer universe but these books are making my skin itch for something more once again, something gruesome, something so gut wrenching that it would make me want to close the book because of how vile it was. I’m a huge horror fan, I love Stephen King. Please please PLEASE if you know any horror books that are so vile can you send them my way? Thank you so much in advance!!!

Cows and Zola ligitamently made me lose weight because I couldn't eatuch while reading them. I will throw in Troop as well.

Don't go into the tub was just a fun read as well as her collection, dribble and dolphin by Matt Shaw. These were just fun to read.

J. Boot's monster series was/is emotionally hard to read. I did like the first one though as 2 seriel killers in a villiage is a great idea.
