10. Lord Horror/Motherf**kers - David Britton (1989)
David Britton is co-proprietor of publishing firm Savoy Books along with Michael Butterworth. The company released several erotic books and pieces of transgressive fiction in the 1970s and in 1986 the novel Lord Horror (loosely based on war time traitor Lord Haw Haw), a scatological examination of the Holocaust drew the ire of the Manchester police and Manchester authorities. There were continual raids on the Savoy premises and frequent charges of obscenity. Lord Horror is the last book to be done under the Obscene Publications Act in Britain, copies were destroyed and now any originals of the book command silly prices. David Britton's follow up - Motherf**kers: The Auschwitz of Oz - starring Savoy Superstars - Meng and Ecker - a pair of twins who have been horribly experimented upon by Dr Mengele in Auschwitz. Meng is a particularly repulsive, racist beast of a man who could kill you as soon as set eyes on you. The book is virtually unreadable in some places due to the racist smears and ultraviolence. It has a very unique take on Auschwitz which I won't spoil for you but I will say it is crazy stuff to wrap your head around, particularly when Mickey Mouse makes an appearance amidst all the horror. Britton has done jail time due to his publications (which also includes explicit comics based on Lord Horror and Meng and Ecker). His work is just about the most transgressive literature you could read short of The Marquis de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom. It is little wonder that there have been so many charges of obscenity, so many police raids on Savoy publishing. Jewish groups have also been completely horrified by the anti-semitism in Britton's books. Britton and Butterworth have strongly denied being anti-semitic - countering that the fictional character in no way espouses the author's beliefs. However, Britton and Butterworth did say that they used the Holocaust as an instrument to offend the reader and to write outrageous literature. The books have attained cult status among the cognoscenti but as Savoy rarely reprint books, they are destined to wallow in obscurity which is probably for the best as they are über offensive reading.
