"Knock" by Fredric Brown.

First book I thought of was "Brother of Sleep" (original: Schlafes Bruder) by Robert Schneider.

But then I remembered books like "All Quiet on the Western Front" (book on World War I) by Erich Maria Remarque and other books I read on wars (especially WWII) and 'disturbing' gains whole new meaning.

I once started "Green City in the Sun" by Barbara Wood, but its beginning horrified me that much, I never continued reading it: It begins with the description of female genital cutting and I remember how that disturbed me.

Apple did that...but it was decades ago. I'm not sure, someone else might have done it more recently.

Needful Things, by Stephen King. If I remember right, it was a pretty creepy book.

Ooh, I was just looking through my books and found a gem. "Undying Love" by Ben Harrison. It's about this guy who becomes obsessed with a patient, I believe. She dies and he takes her body home and has sex with the corpse for years. It's truly disturbing.

This is what/who he was fucking:
