Violent compelling novels?

crime/revenge/hard boiled whatever.
just any suggestions for something violent and graphic?
not horror.

Im not looking for anything deep. I just want some good violent books.

Terrible book, terrible fiction writer

nah. is gud book.

You in Adelaide? I have to read this book for the syllabus.

I also rec Clockwork Orange, Wasp Factory and Story of the Eye.

Im looking for more trashy pulp fiction. like without remorse by tom clancy. stuff like that.

alice munro is the superior female canadian fiction writer.

Blood meridian of course

yeah. maybe I'll read no country for old men.
I just wanted something with some good gun play and such.
along the lines of the turner diaries but actually entertaining.

Might not choose No Country for Old Men if that's what you're looking for.

You want The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinksi. Includes brutal depictions of rape, removal of body parts, and murder of many people including young children.

I just wanted some get carter or death wish kinda books. not torture porn.
sounds like a good book though.

Yo I am. C u in tute tomorrow

Bernard Cornwell's stuff if pretty violent and gritty.

I'm sure you've read plenty.

Don't forget Mavis Gallant.

>some good gun play
Definitely check out Cornwell's Richard Sharpe series as well as the Starbuck Chronicles.

gates of fire

Damn. There's literally loads. These spring to mind:
Shella - Andrew Vachss (Somewhat seedy and sleazy)
A Rage in Harlem - Chester Himes (50's American)
When Dames Get Tough - Hank Janson (Together with other short stories. 40's American)
Twelve - Nick McDonell (More modern teenage angst)
London Boulevard - Ken Bruen (If you can stand Cockney)
The Second Prison - Ronan Bennett (If you can deal with being set with themes of Irish sectarianism)
