Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Wuthering Heights
1848 review from Graham’s Lady Magazine: “How a human being could have attempted such a book as the present without committing suicide before he had finished a dozen chapters, is a mystery. It is a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors.” mentalfloss.com/article/63520/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-wuthering-heights
James Lorimer, North British Review, 1847: "Here all the faults of Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Brontë) are magnified a thousand fold, and the only consolation which we have in reflecting upon it is that it will never be generally read." https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/tip-sheet/article/54494-the-13-worst-reviews-of-classic-books.html

Teeth: Vampire Tales
Bridge to Abbigale by Onision. Terrible, terrible book. Although instead of reading it, I listened to a readthrough by Gines on YouTube.
