So recently I read a book with the most bizarre "twist" I've come across. The story goes like this:

A couple is looking to buy a house, and comes across a deal too good to pass up on an old farmhouse in a small town. Everyone in the town is really strange and hostile to "outsiders" and there are lots of whispers about how there's something bad/evil about the house, and therefore the new owners. The main characters don't think much of it, assume the townspeople are just superstitious, and ignore the rumors. Then creepy, unexplained stuff starts happening in the house, and it seems like a fairly typical haunted house type story.

Except then it starts veering into sci-fi/conspiracy territory with government mind control and invisibility devices and stuff. Which is a little weird, sure, but still not THAT out there. Until the end. The explanation behind the creepy, unexplained stuff? Aliens from some undiscovered planet that have traveled to earth to warn everyone about Donald Trump. I'm not kidding. And it turns out some of the townspeople the main character had interacted with had died years before, but somehow they're also aliens, too, who are still alive? And there are random zombies (who are totally different than the dead/not dead alien-people) chasing after the MC and his wife in an underground maze at one point.

Then the MC becomes president, fixes all the world's problems and the final "twist" on the last page is that his wife was dead all along so all the stuff that involved her must've been, I don't know, part of his imagination or something? Which could theoretically include the stuff with the aliens, because part of his deal with the aliens to save the world was that he had to sacrifice his wife to them. Although that couldn't have actually happened because she was apparently already dead at that point. I don't even know.

I read a ton of mystery/suspense type stuff, things described as being super shocking, Gone Girl-esque, etc., but this is the only book I've ever read that made me go "what the fuck?" after I finished it. I mean, I hate Donald Trump and I agree with most of (what I assume are) the author's politics, but it was just so. damn. bizarre. Like, I feel like there's no way he wasn't on a ton of drugs when he wrote it, lol.

What's the craziest/weirdest twist you guys have come across?

Aliens from some undiscovered planet that have traveled to earth to warn everyone about Donald Trump. I'm not kidding.

When....when was this book published.

2017, it was apparently written during the campaign. Of course, it would've been crazier if it came out like 10 years ago or something, but I thought it was still pretty out there.

The Web by Johnathan Kellerman. It starts out as a murder mystery set on a tiny island but in the end it turns out there is a conspiracy to hide these weird mutant children from atomic bomb experiments. Not nearly as wild as what you're describing but it did strike me as pretty weird coming from a mainstream genre novel.

It wasn't a good twist. But the twist at the end of My Sister's Keep was certainly crazy.

I just read about this and

Holy Fuck, it's basically punishing her narratively for wanting a normal fucking life at this point? And her sister wanting to die????

The author is a bit notorious for those kinds of cruel twists. Her other book, Handle With Care, has a women ruining her, her family's (especially the other daughter), and her best friend's lives so she can pay her youngest child's medical bills. What happens when she gets the money? The child drowns in a freak accident less than a month later. To top it all off she buries the money with the child!

Spoilers for the movie My Sister's Keeper

It's really telling that the movie changed the ending so the sister dies and she survives.

I'm normally really good on picking up on hints and therefore not being surprised by twists and therefore not reacting much but I remember that and kind of sitting on my bed crying thinking ' I don't react like this to books like this, there was no need omg ect'.

I don't know if this counts because Hemlock Grove is like... one big crazy show with tons of crazy stuff in it. But at the end of season two it went off the fucking rails.

***MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING***

Like. Okay. It didn't start off particularly logical or sane but in season one Roman (the vampire kid) and Peter (the werewolf kid) had this amazing chemistry, only there was this mystery and a love triangle and long story short it turns out that Roman (under influence from his evil vampire mother) raped his own cousin and impregnated her. The love triangle bit is that Roman loves his cousin, but she loves Peter. Instead of this ending in a kickass OT3, she dies giving birth to their baby and everything sucks.

So Roman is living in this swanky modern cabin with his secret baby, and this rando female hitchhiker turns up on the doorstep and starts bleeding from her nipples, which of course means she's A+ suitable to feed a half vamp baby, so she does. Lots of other shit goes on with Roman becoming more vampirish and fighting with Peter, and it ends with the hitchhiker stealing the baby, and trying to jump off the roof... only at the last minute this giant... man-bat-ray thing swoops down and carries them off. ROLL CREDITS.

I hear season 3 is even more fucked up but I couldn't watch because I was done.

If the baby was a hallucination then where did the footprint come from?

*X-Files theme music plays*

If there's someone getting pounded in the butt then you know it's a Chuck Tingle story.

Is the twist that two of his latest are these?

and the inevitable sequel

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KDY4SVN/

Oh, man. Settle in.

I once watched a movie where a man is murdered by three of his jilted ex lovers. IIRC, he had like...equal points towards being sent to Heaven or Hell, so God wanted to send him back to Earth so that he could finally earn the love of a woman, but the Devil said that he'd just schmooze his way into it if he were returned to his original form, so the Devil convinces God to return the guy to Earth in a woman's body. So here he is, as a woman, and he has to get a woman to love him before he can die again and rest peacefully in Heaven.

He poses as his own sister, somehow starts working in his old job again, which leads him to meeting this woman client who's a successful business owner and open lesbian, who only wants to deal with him, as he's the only woman who works that high up in the firm, I think?

Meanwhile, he tracks down the ringleader of his ex lovers who killed him & forces her to help him navigate the world as a woman, which she does reluctantly. THEN, there's his coworker/best friend. So here he is, trying to seduce the businesswoman so he can get her contract, but he can't actually go through with having sex with her in a woman's body because in his life, he was homophobic, so now that he has the same parts, he's not into it. (Which his jilted, ringleader ex explains to him as the reasoning for why he can't go through with it.)

Naturally, his coworker/best friend is FALLING IN LOVE with him and, because he still has his male brain and all their history and junk, he wants nothing to do with him. I think they eventually end up going on a sort of date or out to drink as friends or something, but afterwards, they go back to his place, and his coworker/best friend DATE RAPES HIM!

THEN, his jilted, ringleader ex frames him for his own murder by placing the murder weapon in his apartment and tipping off the cops. He goes to court to explain himself, and is sentenced to a psych ward for claiming to be himself when he's so clearly a woman and obviously paperwork and what not confirms that he doesn't even have a sister, so that's out. So anyway, he's in the psych ward. BUT HE'S ALSO PREGNANT! Because the date rape by his coworker/best friend led to him getting pregnant. Because of course it did.

Also, I think somewhere in there while he's in the psych ward his coworker/best friend convinces/forces him to marry him, so they have a quickie marriage in the psych ward itself and agree to raise the child together???

Anyway, it's finally time for him to give birth, so he does. (Do you see where this is going?) He gives birth to a daughter. They place her in his arms. He feels loved. He's finally earned the love of a woman. He dies in childbirth. He's sent to Heaven. The film ends with a flashforward of his daughter about 5 years old with her dad/his coworker/best friend placing flowers on his grave while God asks him to choose whether he wants to be a male angel or a female angel and saying he's had 5 years to decide, and he says, in the actress's voice (not the actor's) that it's just so hard to decide and there's benefits to choose, and he's going to need like another 5 years.

Oh, and according to IMDb trivia, the Devil appears in the background in scenes of his time on Earth as a woman at least 4 times. I only caught him once, at a party that the businesswoman threw, but I did see him there and thought he was out of place, what with him being the Devil and all, and him...not really doing anything to push the bet with God in his favor at all. Additionally, in rejecting the businesswoman, she requests that an up and coming partner in the firm take her account instead, dealing a blow to his professional life.

It is. Without a doubt. The weirdest movie I've ever seen.

*benefits to BOTH! Not choose. Idk what happened there.

I agreed with another comment on my sisters keeper.

Other than that maaaybe Chris being Piper's son in Charmed?

I'm really bad at knowing things ahead of time because I am forever late to the game.

I remember being shocked at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a kid though. Man I still love that film.
