"Dracula" by Bram Stoker. Dracula isn't even in half the damn book, and the scenes without him move at a glacial pace. Van Helsing is one of the greatest literary characters of his century. It does get points for it's unconventional presentation.

"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein's monster is an incel with daddy issues who won't shut the fuck up. A very fascinating story told in the least interesting way imaginable.

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a far more interesting novel than either of the two aforementioned. It suffers none of the pretensions of the other two, and is comfortable being a punchy pulp novel. Read in one sitting because it never lost my interest.

"Frankenstein" was conceived at some sort of proto-SFWA get together. It probably devolved into a degenerate sex fest as they often do. Percy Shelley was the Eric Hildeman, content to look in the other direction as the Dustin of the time, Lord Byron, beat and chewed Mary Shelley's swollen kishie milkers

The most horrifying, blood-curdling, stomach-turning, vile and existentially-depressing cult 'classic' (I hesitate to use that term) novel I've ever read is Let's Go Play At The Adams'.

Closest a book has ever come to harming my mental health, and I've read some mad dark shite in my time. I can't believe the man who wrote and published it didn't off himself afterward. It's nothing but tasteless torture gorn.

Even by the standards of the 1970s, it's abhorrent that anyone got this put out, or that anyone bought it. It even got a limited reprint run in hardback a few years ago.
