Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted(a collection of short stories). It made me close my legs and squirm, and feel disgusted. The first story ''Guts'' made me put down the book and not touch it due to fear of what i am about to read next.
As Wikipedia describes it : It is a tale of violent accidents involving masturbation, in which the reader is instructed to hold their breath in the very first line.
Yeah, reader beware.

I came here to post this!
I am not much of a horror/disturbing stories fan, but Guts was simply astonishing, I read this more than 10 years ago and still remember the story vividly.
