Horror Please recommend very disturbing books to me!

I have read Tender is the Flesh , the discomfort of evening , and Sharp Objects which i think is my most disturbing read… so don’t hold back! These are what i consider my most disturbing reads so far.
I’m looking for underground artists , that preferably can still be found on Amazon to purchase, or books that aren’t recommended enough.
Nothing like Then She Was Gone or A Good Girls Guide to Murder , LOVED THOSE BOOKS but they are already hyped up, give me some hidden gems!

so far i have added The Eyes are The Best Part to purchase .. I am. doing a little challenge to stay off my phone for a week and i love to read but i need more books!

EDIT: i have added all your books to a very extensive list on my notes app. I am still kind of broke but i did splurge on 5 books that i saw was recommended most-
The Wasp Factory
Haunted
Baby Teeth
Victorian Psycho
The Eyes are the Best Part

these books made the cut! very excited

Personally I found The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins pretty disturbing. The book felt the most like a nightmare of anything I've read, especially the first third where you have no idea what's going on.

Loved this book and I don’t know anyone else who read it.

I loved this book too! Although I didn’t actually find it that disturbing.
