Let's make a new Dark/Disturbing chart, part 3!

Previous threads:
This time we're going to design and make the actual chart!
If you want to recommend/remove a book, that's still possible! Look at the bottom of this post for the current standings of previous books and recommended books.
For rules regarding adding/removing works, check the start of the previous thread.

>ideas for the layout so far:
- Add indicators of rape, drugs, torture, pedophilia, etc. (In the shape of a capital letter next to the books? e.g. R D T P)
- Add dark/disturbing books of the same author that can be read as well, as an extra recommendation. (In brackets underneath the name of the author.)
- Add one link that goes to a page containing all the links of pdf's of hard to find books we can collect. (We can show which books in the chart we have links for by adding an * after the title of the book.)
- Dark layout? Matches the mood of the chart, but I also want to stand out to the previous chart.

I have tried to implement some in the draft chart (pic related), what do you think of it?
Any other ideas? Do you think the above features should be in the chart? What about the background/font colour? (I think the font should be brighter, to make it easier to read.)

We currently have links to:
Peter Sotos - Proxy
Pierre Guyotat - Eden Eden Eden
Michael Gira - The Consumer
Jesús Ignacio Aldapuerta - The Eyes

Peter Sotos - Pure (not on the list)
Pierre Guyotat - Tomb for 500.000 Soldiers (not on the list)

-

Current standings:
>Books on the previous list no one has talked about (in depth): should they stay or do they have to go, and why?
Louis Aragon - Irene's Cunt
Slavenka Draculic - The Taste of a Man
J T LeRoy - The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things
Natsuo Kirino - Grotesque

>Books that are recommended to be added to the list, but only by one person: should they be added, or not, and why?
Kathy Acker - Blood and Guts in High School
John Hawkes - Second Skin / The Lime Twig
Sorokin - The Day of Oprichnik
Jachym Topol - The Devil's Workshop
Kenzaburo Oe - Teach Us to Outgrow Our Madness
Charles Maclean - The Watcher
Steven Barber - Caligula: Divine Carnage
Frederick Exley - A Fan's Notes
Andrea Dworkin - Mercy
Kate Millet - The Basement
Unica Zürn - Dark Spring
Patrick Süskind - Perfume
Blake Butler - 300,000,000

Sup dude, I really appreciate what you did there, you did a splendid job, but I have to tell you that the design of the layout is up to you,
first: what program are you using to make it? If you're using Photoshop or clip studio you'll find a lot of fonts appropriate for the chart mood
Second: make the design so it can be read comfortable in a normal screen (a rectangle would be fine) and don't jam all the books so close to each other.
Also I think that you should make the chart with the current titles you have, you can't just keep making new charts whenever someone come up with a new book.

I'll look forward for your finished work!

By the way I'm making a chart about Little girls in this board if you want to contribute I'll really apreciate it

here's Le con d'Irène by Aragon
I really don't feel like reading it though... and for some reason I'm pretty sure I wouldn't find it disturbing at all...

Hey, I saw your thread yesterday! I can contribute a little bit if/when you make a new thread (I see your old one has been archived).
What drove you want to make that chart, by the way? Just curious.
Either way:
I understand that the design is up to me, but if things look really off/could be improved I'd like to hear suggestions.
I also made this in Word, since I have 0 experience with anything other than Paint. Not jamming books close is really difficult since the Word page-size has a limit, and if I go over that I have to manually fit rows/columns together by using Paint (which I already need to do since this chart is pretty big so I screenshot 6 times and puzzle them into one big image in Paint lmao). I also don't want the image to get much bigger, since it already is pretty big (or is that just me?)
I will probably make the chart with the current books, since the amount of recommendations I am getting are less and less, and I doubt that more than 1 book will get through the 'one person' list.

Thanks for finding a copy of Irene's Cunt! It is in French though, so only a few people here will be able to read this. Either way, great job finding a copy.

This is nice but I feel like the Banks and Oates covers are a bit lame. How about this one?
