You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison.
The worst possible reality impeccably visualized in text.

I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon by Philip K. Dick.
Subconscious neurosis turns a man's happy memories into a personal hell as he dreams for 13 years.

My Work Is Not Yet Done by Thomas Ligotti
Hard to pick one of Ligottis. Favorite horror authors are like that.

Ever read Cows by Michael Stokoe?

I find Stokoe extremely troubling because I genuinely believe him to be truly disturbed and he would probably be dangerous if he wasn't getting wasted at home and writing the foulest books known to man. He's the type of author that seems to be typing with one hand, half railing against, and half getting off to the brutality and perversity of what he's writing.

I'd recommend High Life or The Empty Mile first, but Cows is straight up the Scrotie McBoogerballs of literature. So unrelentingly hosed up from start to finish.
