What are some of the disturbing or unsettling books you've ever read?

Wakefield

These two books came into mind. I suka baca buku thrillers tp 2 buku ni macam terlebih twisted. I baca jugak sampai habis sebab dah alang-alang baca and curious and still hope for happy ending.

Anyway, masa pilih buku-buku ni, sinopsis yang diberikan tu agak vague gitu so memang xtau cerita a bit disturbing. Dua-dua buku ni, watak utama kena culik dan ditahan. Seorang mangsa kena abuse mentally, seorang kena abuse sexually.


1. Living Dead Girl, Elizabeth Scott



Detailed synopsis:

This book takes place five years after "Alice's" abduction. She is now 15, and is still living with Ray, her abductor. They pose as father and daughter, though they have no connections to anyone in the outside world. During this time, he has deprived her of food in order to keep her frozen in her childlike body, dresses her in childlike clothing, and hasrapedher every day. Ray also makes her sit in a chair as punishment when she is "bad". Alice refers to herself as the "Living Dead Girl": She is numb on the inside and is looking forward to the day when Ray will finally kill her, like he did the girl that he had abducted before her, the "First Alice". Ray had kept the First Alice until she was fifteen and her body had begun to mature. He then killed her and dumped her body, which was later found, but he had never been suspected. It ise with a razor while taking a shower alone; this is the reason the second Alice is not allowed to take showers by herself.

Alice now hopes for death, rather than for escape. Since the day he had taken her, he had threatened that if she ever ran from him or tried to contact police, he would kill her parents. By now, he has completelybrainwashedher: she says, "I could run, but he would find me. He would take me back to 623 Daisy Lane and make everyone who lives there pay. He would make everyone there pay even if he didn't find me. I belong to him. I'm his little girl. All I have to do is be good." So she "stays in line" even though she is left at their apartment alone all day while he is at work, and even goes to getbikini waxesdone by herself.

One day, Ray tells Alice he wants her to find him a "New Alice" for him. At first, Alice hopes that if she does, he will free her, or at least finally put her out of her misery. Instead, Ray tells her that she will train the new Alice to his liking.

Alice takes trips down to the park where Ray had taken her once before and watches the young girls who play there. She writes down in a little notebook the different girls, what they do, and what they look like. She returns to Ray and he asks her to tell him all about these little girls. On one of her trips there, she meets Lucy, a young girl who likes to swing. After Lucy tells Alice that she doesn't like her, Alice decides that Lucy will be the one to replace her. Alice then meets Lucy's older brother, Jake, a troubled teenager who abuses prescription drugs. Alice returns to his car and has sex with him to try to get some information from him about Lucy. She finds out a little information about the girl's hobbies and schedule. Before she leaves, she also meets a police officer who has a feeling that Alice is in trouble. However, Alice knows that talking to the police will only get her in trouble with Ray, so she refuses to call for help. When Ray accuses Alice of lying to him about Lucy's whereabouts, Alice becomes confused, as Jake told her that Lucy would be at a local swimming pool.

Alice returns later and finds Lucy standing in the park. She tries to tell her to run, but Ray appears and grasps Lucy by the arm. Alice collects her remaining life in her hollow body and shouts for Lucy to run. Ray gets so angry that he tries to strangle Alice. Jake shoots Ray dead, and inadvertently wounds Alice. As she lays dying, Alice tells Lucy that her name is Kyla Davis, and that she lives on 623 Daisy Lane. She then asks Lucy to take her home. Alice's final thought before she dies is "I am free."

Buku sekarang, penerbit karya seni dgn tajuk yg entah apa apa. Although I still admire penulis dari jemari seni mcm syud, hlovate or norhayati berahim or siti Rosmizah.

Zaman Nia skolah dulu, (90's) Ada org jual2 buku Kat skolah.dia jual buku bersiri,mula2 dia bagi kertas untuk  kita bawak balik skolah ( Ada title buku ape yg Kita nk) so nnti hari yg dia bawak buku tu Kita dh stanby la duit

Still teringat smpai hari Ni,Ada 1 buku Nia beli tajuk dia rumah di depan kubur.gambar dia,untuk budak2 mcm Nia waktu tu Rasa sgt2 scary.nak belek baca pun takut

So dia cte pasal sorg budak lelaki ni, jumpa dgn pmpuan cantik dpn rumah kosong.xingat dh cmne,last2 dia tahu pmpuan tu hantu.dia mati kne tembak,jadi hantu kt rumah kosong tu.

Nia pelik jugak,even takut xde la Nia no sorok ke buang ke buku tu.skrg lama dah hilang bukunye

Buku english Nia suka Edgar Allan Poe.bnyk short stories.
Bg nia cerita dia x scary sgt,tp bahasa dia,the way dia cerita buat cte tu lebih scary.

Satu cte Nia ingat pasal psychopath.rasanya tajuk dia Berenice. Pasal this one man yg obsessed dgn Gigi si Berenice.

Kalau Korg minat manga,boleh try junji ito. Gambar seram.dia lebih..horror + menggelikan.

Now that u mentioned it, baru teringat. Yes, memang disturbing pun. Bukan setakat incest je, ada lagi yang disturbing. Nenek dia put poison dlm makanan smpai sorg adik dia at d end mati.

Buku Flowers in d Attic ni dari Dollanganger Series, ada sambungan cerita beberapa buku sampai the Dollangangers siblings ni besar.

twilight series.

i beli novel twilight tu before movie tu keluar.

novel tu terperap sekian lama sebab mood nak membaca belum datang lagi masa tu.

then, bila movie keluar, i tengok movie tu dulu.

terus tak ada keinginan nak baca novel tu disebabkan pelakon kakrakter bella yang bosan.
karakter bella tu tak bosan tapi pelakon tu yang buatkan karakter bella tu jadi bosan.

For me, buku title Captive in the Dark, by C.J. Roberts.


Rasa terganggu dgn plot certia dia pasal pedophiles.

Satu lagi cerita tajuk Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. (plot pasal student highschool kna raped dgn upperclassman dia dan satu sekolah dgn dia.

Cold Heart Canyon by Clive Barker. This book was absolutely bad and and I am suprise because i like Book of Blood. The book was rambling and bizarre (in a bad way!!!) There were completely unnecessary nudity, detailed descriptions of sex - over and over again and it made me sick.

Memang pembaziran duit betul beli buku ni...!!

jalan cerita berulang, ayat penggunaan yang tak menarik, pengunaan bahasa kasar dan pasar
