How about Steven King? Clive Barker?
The thing is, if you know you are writing fiction you can let your mind go wild and come up with all sorts of crazy stuff. But I don't know that you can look at some written work and say the individual that wrote it is disturbed.

Agreed. I'll add another author to the that list. Chuck Palahniuk. The guy who wrote Fight Club. I've read a couple of his books, and Fight Club is easily the tamest. If he wasn't an established author his work would look very twisted, probably even more so than this guy.
That said, Chuck Palahnuik is probably a very balanced person in real life. So in regards to the shooter, it doesn't seem like there was enough to warrant serious suspension of violence.
