The Savage Mind by Clause Levi-Strauss (1908-2009). World class anthropologist's take on the psychology of the primitive mind. The guy is a genius and it shows in his writing, which i can just barely comprehend. Good stuff nonetheless. Ashe.

MEAT joseph D'lacey. Pretty disturbing and entertaining at the moment.
Before that I read I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. One of the finest books I've ever read. Definately the best vamp novel FUCK TWILIGHT
Also if you like disturbing, gritty macabre tales check out my debut novel:

If you like Meat, I recommend his novella The Kill Crew.

Naked Metamorphosis, by Eric Mays.

It's a Bizarro blend of Shakespeare and Kafka. Very, very energetic narrative with a lot of humor. A quick read. Picture "Hamlet" as it might have been written in the Star Trek mirror universe...if Mirror Shakespeare was tripping.

Pastoralists: Equality, Hierarchy, and the State by Philip Carl Salzman. Pretty good, though dry, stuff about the social nature of the world's pastoralist peoples. Ashe.

Recently finished Dennis Lehane's "Shutter Island," he's not known primarily for horror and you could call it a psychological thriller, but it's super-creepy and incredibly well written.

Columbine by Dave Cullen - A truly excellent and comprehensive accounting of what really happened - not we think happened - that day. It's particularly valuable in destroying the "outcasts who snapped" narrative and showing that the massacre was the work of a psychopath, not a bullied kid.
