Disturbing Book Recommendation

Looking for a disturbing book to read. I have read only a few books that really bothered me, The Shining, Misery, Lord of the Flies, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc. I am looking for a book that’ll really shake my nerves. Any type of disturbing is fine. I want to get back into reading and I know something of this genre will help me get back into them. Thanks y’all! The Prisoner of Azkaban by Harry Potter. Dementors? Yes. Black magic? Yes. Sadness? A little bit. Yeah, you could say it’s disturbing.

A Reddit user asks for a disturbing book recommendation and lists several genuinely unsettling novels. Someone jokingly recommends Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, treating Dementors, black magic, and sadness as disturbing horror elements. The joke is a playful exaggeration of the darker parts of a children’s fantasy series, making it useful as a reaction to someone seeking intense or unsettling reading.
