Here are my personal favorite head-fucks, each one of them did something strange to my whole world when I read them:
But yeah, by far my favorite is the one at the top of the list, The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. There's just so goddamn much going on in that book, it's one helluva wonderful ride.
Heh. If you like his writing, but don't like the humor, try the Wasp Factory. You have been warned.
Also, I haven't read Excession, but the Culture books I have read haven't been too slapsticky. Quite the contrary, actually.
Can't say I've ever been scared by a book, but the most disturbing and compelling thing I've ever read was probably The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks.
COWS by Mathew Stokoe amazon
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk amazon
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks amazon
Contingency Cannibalism: Superhardcore Survivalism's Dirty Little Secret by Shiguru Takada amazon
Apocalypse Culture by Adam Parfrey amazon
Eat Thy Neighbor by Daniel Diehl and Mark P. Donnelly amazon
We So Seldom Look On Love by Barbara Gowdy amazon
Those are just a few of my favorites.. by far COWS is the worst on the list.. You feel like you need a shower after finishing it, but at the same time if you're as into morbid stuff as I am, it's oddly cathartic in that you'll feel no need to scour the depths of the interwebs for nastiness for days (maybe weeks) afterwards..
The Wasp Factory by Ian Banks is just an incredible, incredible book.

The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks
We So Seldom Look on Love by Barabara Gowdy (more unnerving than the title suggests).
The Wasp Factory.
