Depressing Books/Mangas

I'm tired of re-reading the same stuff, so if you have anything truly devastating like Osamu Dazai's books or Der Steppenwolf, The Stranger, Nana, etc etc...please recommend

I'd check out pretty much any of Cormac McCarthy's work if you haven't already. Namely Blood Meridian, The Road, and No Country for Old Men. Those are his best and darkest works (imo)

I've read Blood Meridian by Cormac and watched the movie No Country for Old Men, but hes more disturbing than depressing imo, i mean his works are excellent

Villains Are Destined To Die by Gwon Gyeoeul. Both the comic and novel are so good

Hiii I'd really recommend Aku no Hana, It's a really underated manga and it's not really that long
