Being currently halfway through Irvine Welsh's Filth, this doesn't surprise me one bit
it's an amazing insight into the mind of a bent cop. by the dude who wrote trainspotting. read it. seriously. now.
Adrian's Undead Diaries series books 1 - 8 by Chris Philbrook. Phenomenal read and a satisfying ending to boot.
Super common, actually.
The Black Wolves of Boston by Wen Spencer features a protagonist who becomes a werewolf. Misfit Pack does the same thing.
One Woke Up by Lee Gaiteri features a protagonist wrestling with coming to terms with his time as a zombie
Into The Abyss by J. Langland features a protagonist turned into a horned demon.
The Tome of Bill features a protagonist who becomes a vampire. (Characters turned into vampires is super common, actually)
We Are Legion (We Are Bob) features a protagonist who becomes a space probe.
Chrysalis and Queen in the Mud on Royal Road feature protagonists who are turned into an ant and a salamander respectively.
by the way, David has turned to writing his own stories about modern monsters since he quit white wolf, so if you want to support one of Zak's victims, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074QNS9S3
Kill Your Friends: a Novel is a great read, total page turner, and also a very interesting look at the recording industry. a lot of the descriptions of the inner workings of said industry are quite on point, and the real life quotes at the beginning of each chapter really paint a picture.
also
Filth by Irvine Welsh has a really great anti-hero who fits your description pretty well.
Here are a couple of gritty anti-hero picks:

This one is free until the weekend ends, and is like a fantasy cyber punk short story. Its not usually my style but i actually really liked it. It was an easy read.
Hey everyone! A day or so ago, I published my first book on Amazon after about... four years of work, give or take. It's been a bit of a journey, but I've definitely come out the other side a better writer! So here's some shameless self promotion;
​
Title: Null and Void
Genre: Science Fiction/Comedy
Feedback: ... I mean, you can tell me whether or not you like it, I suppose (but maybe do it on Amazon...)
Link: (Kindle) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TYX9YFQ , (Paperback) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1731342950
​
As per Amazon's policy, you can read the first little chunk of it for free (or all for free, if you have KDP Select). It's a sort of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams affair (similar to Yahtzee Crowshaw's books, I suppose), with a bit more of a dark-comedy tone. I'm happy to say that at least a few people have said they like it, so at least I've done something right.
​
In case I've piqued anyone's curiosity, I had a small trailer put together that sums the whole tone up quite nicely. You can watch it here; https://youtu.be/MQp7y3FV4UA
​
Thanks for checking me out (if you do), and enjoy!
Social media trolls and a kinky wife have thrown Ted Bedford into a tizzy. Hounded at work by memes and puns, and pounded in the bedroom by toy fire engines and footlong subs, he seeks solace in the office of a friendly proctologist. But when an unspeakable tragedy occurs during an unspeakable "extraction," Ted finds that he's being haunted by more than the foibles of his past.
Never Throw a Pizza at a Ghost, a 4,200-word short story by Pluto Perry, is sure to become the talk of your next family gathering, PTA meeting, and parole hearing.
$0.99; Kindle Unlimited

"Morsels for the Depressed, Depraved, Pessimistic, and otherwise declining" just went live, and the paperback is in progress.
Link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZKXSHLM/
(FREE on Amazon Oct 27-30)
What it is, is aphorisms, fragments, flash fiction, also poetry for all who are lost and not particularly looking to be found.
Themes that feature are:
​
You can read it with Kindle Unlimited.
I was going to suggest Filth by Irvine Welsh, but it's not really exactly what you're looking for.
This is the perfect Halloween read!
Zombies!
It is! If you like tongue and cheek humor with the supernatural, check out The Tome of Bill series by Rick Gualtieri too. It's about a nerd who accidentally becomes a very powerful vampire. I've seen the first book for free on Kindle before (that's how I got into the series), but I think you can get all 4 of the first books on Kindle for like $10 in the compendium that just came out.
I've been enjoying The Tome of Bill Compendium. It makes those little pop culture references like Ready Player One did and quickly got me hooked.
http://www.amazon.com/Bill-Compendium-Books-1-4-Mourning-ebook/dp/B00H8P60NQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427321542&sr=8-1&keywords=tome+of+bill+kindle
Someone even wrote a book on that premise. I don't know how good it is though.
My book is **Squalls on the Shores of Slōrsh**. I just published it this past week and haven't attended to advertising for it; I don't even have the e-book linked to the paperback yet :)
https://www.amazon.com/Squalls-Shores-Slorsh-Sylvester-Olson-ebook/dp/B07HGH9Q1J/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1537671825&sr=8-2&keywords=squalls+on+the+shores+of+slorsh
Slōrsh an imaginary windswept country that gets hit by tsunamis every few generations or so, completely wiping out whatever populace happens to be living there at the time. A single pagoda from some unknown earlier age, housing a grinning stone moai, manages to survive each cataclysm. The stories in the book are "antitales," so the protagonists across different ages who encounter the moai and strive to utilize it in some advantageous way don't end up with happy endings.
It could never be called a Pegana proxy, but I think the common themes of bleak landscapes, abandoned cities/buildings, weird sculpture/statues, minimalism, and nihilistic humor make the inspiration evident. At least that's what I was going for :)
