Hi Keri. Greetings from sunny and stickly Washington DC! If you like edgy books have you read The Calling?

Ooh, no I haven't! The library didn't have it but I'll look around. Thanks!

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN HERE.
'Right Hand Up To God.'
I cant afford to exaggerate. After you have read it the power of the word will be in your hands. Or should I say keyboard?

Ick, tornadoes? Those scare the bejeebers out of me. Being originally from Southern CA, earthquakes don't bother me. But tornadoes? EEK! Knock on wood one hasn't come near me since we moved here.

It's pretty hot here in eastern Massachusetts, although no tordadoes (yet). God Is a Bullet by Boston Teran (or is it Teran Boston?) will absolutely shock terrify and sicken you. I'm not sure about the amuse. I couldn't finish it. You tough gals might like it.
I'll join the hot and sticky club in saying hello, Keri.
Shocking, terrifying and sickening reads aren't my thing, so I'll have to leave the recommending to the others, and I'm sure you'll find plenty to read here that is good for you!
Thanks for joining the group.

Hello from the Boston area, glad you have joined us.
I haven't worked up the nerve to read this yet, but I've heard it fits the bill: {{shock, terrify, sicken and amuse and still tell an amazing story. }}
Sleepyhead by Mark Billingham

BTW, Susan, I still consider myself more a Wisconsinite than a Floridian. We(hubby,munchkin, and I)moved to Tampa only early last year but I grew up in the Milwaukee suburbs and my parents still live there. I've been to Burlington.
Carol/Bonadie: I'm adding
Sleepyhead to my list. And my library has it too :)
