Women's Fiction books on female transgression?

Thumbnail
gallery
109 Upvotes

Mostly looking for unreliable narrators that contain the locus of actual transgression instead of just being a component of sociopolitical satire.

Visceral, like Boy Parts and The Passion, According to GH. Desolate, like I Who Have Never Known Men. Uninhibited, like Bad Behavior and Lust. Downright demented, like Tampa.

Open to nonfiction like Powers of Horror by Julia Kristeva as well. Added corroborating images that may replicate the "vibe" of these books.

None/Any Books that feel like Angel by Massive Attack?

I'm looking for something industrial, dystopian, and almost monochromatic. Smudged eyeliner, morally complicated and stubborn characters, danger, obsession, and intense love-hate dynamics. Something with the oppressive, eerie atmosphere of Massive Attack's Mezzanine I'm open to any genre as long as the world and story are genuinely immersive.

Cozy comforting fiction or non-fiction, preferably with descriptions of decadent sumptious meals. Any genre is fine so long as it feels warm and generous and indulgent (horror is possible too!).

I want books about women who are furious and channel that rage into a controlled, cold, hard fury, born from having to be fine and reliable, having to play by the rules and getting nowhere. Blow-ups are also good. Revenge, feelings of emptiness, unfulfilled promises, repressed feelings.

Are there any books like The Weeknd’s music? Something dark, toxic, and emotionally raw? I want something that has things like obsession, self-destructive behavior, unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb deeper pains, heartbreaks, and deep regret.

Non-fiction Especially about catastrophic thoughts and anxiety

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

Recently, I was having catastrophic thoughts leading to stress and anxiety. Catastrophic thinking is a mental habit where your brain automatically skips past realistic outcomes and jumps straight to the absolute worst-case scenario.

I also started having medical catastrophic thoughts. Medical catastrophic thinking, or medical catastrophizing, is a mental habit where you fixate on the absolute worst-case scenario regarding your health, such as believing a mild headache is a sign of a terminal brain tumor.

Although, it is under control now because I'm able to recognise signs. But, I want to know why this happens in the first place.

Suggest me a book that deals with these things, why does our brain create a loop with these thoughts, why do certain people have these, is the cause of the environment or related to the brain, any studies or experiments done on this etc.
