Post books or stories that are disturbing, hopeless, grotesque, soul-crushing, et cetera.

I was thinking the other day about how ironic it is that authors of depressing, alienated, existentialist literature are often the most celebrated writers in their respective languages, sometimes even the best like Pessoa

That book doesn't fit your description at all. Maybe it's disturbing etc. when you start reading it, but as you progress, you notice the pattern pretty fast. The same unlikely thing keeps happening to her, but each time it gets more ridiculous and unrealistic. EVERYBODY is a piece of shit rapist who double-crosses this dumb woman. It's hilarious. And the ending with the bolt of lightning randomly killing her, kek. Guy was a comedian.
