So Bad It's Horrible/Literature: Difference between revisions

* [[Glenn Beck]]'s ''The Overton Window'' is called one of the worst works of literature ever written. The LA Times said it was less a train-wreck than "[http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jun/23/entertainment/la-et-rutten-20100623 a lurching, low-speed derailment halfway out of the station]".

* Pacione, Nickolaus. He is a horror writer known for self-publishing unreadable, barely literate, mistake-riddled prose, but even better known for picking fights with everyone on the Internet that dislikes his work (up to and including threatening murder, the rape of their children and the like). Read any sentence of his writings, if you dare.
