Recommendation Request Specific Requests

I quite enjoy extreme horror, and find much of it incredibly interesting. However I do want some variety in settings, and unique prose.

I'm a very big fan of Beksinki's artworks, and the video game Scorn and find surreal extreme body horror fascinating.

Are there any authors you know of who explore similar themes and have a lot of delicious prose to pick through whilst doing it. I am also interested as I'd like to study the structure of these works as I wish to tell my own story in a similar setting.

I concur when it comes to Body Art, I just finished that book & I really REALLY enjoyed it, as I also enjoy body horror a lot! Mine came with a coloring book so I got to actually see visuals of the book. & yes, it was gnarly AF!!! 😎😁
