Sure, I'll help. There's the book Zelda Fitzgerald wrote while in the mental asylum for schizophrenia that her bastard of a husband locked her in. I don't know if it's disturbing but the backstory certainly is.

Seconding Nijigahara Holograph instead of Goodnight PunPun. While PunPun has plently of disturbing content, Cephas is right that there's a lot more to it than just being disturbing. Nijigahara Holograph, however, is exactly that - it's JUST disturbing. Interesting that there are so few in the last two tiers, but that's for the best to keep them minimal. I wanted to add The Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Journal_of_the_Plague_Year I haven't read it yet but it's a first-hand account of when the bubonic plague his London in 1665 and apparently pretty brutal.

Just found another one - https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Diary-of-Miss-Idilia-Tragic-Tale-of-Young-Love-Lost-Genevieve-Hill/9781906021818 So in real life in the 1850's this Scottish family went on vacation to Germany and the teenage daughter went missing. Almost a decade later some guys are refurbishing an old house and find her skeleton in a tower - she'd climbed up in there and the stairs collapsed, leaving her stuck there to starve to death. Supposedly she had her diary on her, which was supposedly passed on to the family and here it supposedly is. Supposedly. All super mysterious. Whether that counts as disturbing enough for your iceberg or not, it's a great backstory.

Get Philip K. Dick out of layer 4, you doofus. You can replace it with Mother Horse Eyes, tho. That never got a real release outside of reddit posts and a let's read, as far as I'm aware.

sephiRoth IRA posted:I think Laird Barron has a spot somewhere on here. Personally I'd land him in the 1 zone, but I suppose that's up for debate. Occultation, or imago sequence? There's some great stuff in there. Some of his short stories have stayed with me for a long time, Strappado, procession of the black sloth. Never heard of this guy. I looked him up and he's got an eye patch and races sled dogs in his spare time. He's like a One Piece character and I love him on principle.
