ASoIaF

American Psycho

Probably Heroes Die by Matthew Woodring Stover or one of the Takeshi Kovacs novels by Richard Morgan.

Heroes Die: 
"I jam the knife into his eye. Bone crackles and blood sprays. I use the knife to twist his face away from me: a bloodstain on this livery could be fatal, on my way out. He flops like a salmon that's found unexpected land beneath an upstream leap. This is only his body's last unconscious attempt to live; it goes hand-in-hand with the release of his bowels and bladder. He shits and pisses all over himself and his satin-weave sheets -- another one of those primordial reflexes, a futile dodge to make his meat unappetizing to the predator."

Either Battle Royale or >>3

May not be as violent as say American Psycho, but the fact that it's real makes the difference.

"Griphook thrust his crusty claws into Ginny Weasley's assbank with all the grace of a doctor performing an autopsy, while his paralyzing curse made it effortless to simultaneously bludgeon her milky calves and ankles with his hand-carved billyclub. The smelly goblin grunted his audible satisfaction, reaping the fruits of his labor. As Griphook's violence and lust whipped into a frenzied crescendo he found himself wishing Ginny could return his kiss."

"As Griphook hid beneath the crawlspace he savored the young girl's musky perfume. He inhaled until he felt his lungs would burst. He placed the panties safely back into his hiding spot and scuttled through his trapdoor, appearing in Ginny's bedroom. The goblin was careful not to make the slightest creek on the old wood floor. His bloated and sore infested lips pursed tightly as he raised his little handcrafted billyclub. Eyes wide with malice, betraying a love all too deep. He uttered the incantation which put poor Ginny Weasly to sleep. Forever.

slighty creepy.

As for the most violent books:
Bloodtide, by Melvin Burgess
Wizard's First Rule, by Terry Goodkind (includes a fifty page+ torture scene)
Elminster in Hell, by Ed Greenwood (incredibly detailed and VERY gore-filled)

You know, there's a scifi story out there that featured a race that tortured potential ambassadors to the extreme in order to prove them worthy.  I had thought that Heinlein wrote it, but googling it hasn't produced a link, so I'm probably wrong.  In the story, a very motivated applicant undergoes the torture.  The author went into graphic detail about how the applicant's hand was slowly mutilated step by step; one finger was roasted off; another finger was stung hugely by insects which then devoured it; another finger was slowly pulled apart by mechanical action; etc.  In one memorable instance, a tube was inserted into the applicant's throat and predatory worms were poured into one of his lungs; I recall that the applicant was unable to even scream as they devoured his lung.  Later on, his breathing was labored and he could feel the (then dead) worm husks rattling in his chest.

By the end of the story, the applicant had been reduced to a mutilated torso, having lost all limbs, genitals, and all other head sensory organs except 1 ear ... with which he was informed that he had survived the torture and had been granted ambassador status with the race doing the torturing.  He then made sure that those following him would undergo the same torture.

Who wrote this story?

The Lies of Locke Lamora was pretty brutal.

Barney the Dinosaur's Book of Colors was scary. The colors play mindtricks on you after a few seconds. Damn niggers.
