Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.
Pitch Black Comedy
"Turn me over, I'm done on this side!" —St. Lawrence, whilst roasting on a spit
Gallows humor, black comedy, l'humour noir — whatever you call it, this is the place for it. This list includes André Breton's seminal anthology of dark humor, a number of the works excerpted in this anthology, and beyond. You can find a link to the complete contents of Breton's anthology in the comments.

Disturbing Novel Iceberg- tier 5
This is the last tier I will be listing in the Disturbing Novel Icberg. These are some of the most challenging to read due to the content.
Tiers 6-8 are primarily books that are inaccessible due to being historical artifacts, lost to history, or may have never existed in the first place.
