MODERATORS
That's one of my favourite books. If you take it in the sort of gory comedy horror genre (thinking evil dead), it's actually pretty great and has more depth to it than just horror stories.
Some of his later books get much worse, more gory, and far less interesting. He's really just going for shock value in a lot of them. I stopped reading after the pink sock in Pygmy (couldn't even finish the book).
I looked it up again when writing this comment and even though most reviews are negative they do make it sound pretty interesting. I've put it in a maaaybe list.
If you want to start with another less horrifying book by him (that isn't fight club), I'd highly recommend Rant or invisible monsters
Rant was fantastic, and I also agree wholeheartedly with everything everyone says about Guts.
