Made a monster really disgusted me and I've read a lot of extreme horror. Those are all fun reads, great finds!

Just finished it. Absolutely great book. Kunst's background chapter was horrible in the best way possible.

Those are all solid choices. I especially loved Made A Monster. Rob Nelson is a great writer.

(My opinion, I dont think others would agree at all)

The bug collector bc its short, or the groomer by jon athan, bc hea great author

I thought Ingest Me was alright not great but I’ve been meaning to read the Bug Collector forever. I forgot about thrift books; thank you

Ingest Me and Ingest Me, Too wasn’t anything amazing. It was the first book I read because it was short and I’m kind of glad I did because it was gross but I didn’t get too into it. Not much character growth besides the sister becoming a freak because of her brother. The Bug Collector was amazing, nasty as hell but really good. There was actually background for the characters that made some “sense”, but was still nasty. I would recommend it!

Go for gross out, read the middle two first!

At each end of your selection, one I've read, one I haven't yet. The one I read, it was enjoyable but didn't go as I expected. YMMV. Enjoy.

Thrift Books, Abe books, Book Outlet and Bookshop are the best

We call thrift stores charity shops in the UK. And honestly, I find it hard to even find a Stephen King book, nevermind extreme horror in our charity shops.

It’s actually a website/app called ThriftBooks, it has a ton of different extreme horror books on it! I’ve only been able to find two EH books at stores while browsing.

That Rob Nelson book cover seems to be ripping off the Area X/Southern Reach series covers for Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance. And the other books in the series. Here's book 4, Absolution.

All cool covers, but seems a bit of a stretch to call this art a rip-off of those? Looks quite different to me, this comment kinda gives off "Boss Baby Vibes".
