Oedipus Tyrannus (he was not a king but a tyrant) is not very weird. You'd have to expel from your mind all the nonsense that you inherit from Freud if you're going to read it.
If you want weird/terrible, try the House of Atreus, but there are no extant dramatic works about any before Agamemnon.
Speaking of which, you may like Iphigenia in Aulis, but sadly, unlike in other versions of the tale, she is saved by Artemis at the last moment.
Wouldn't it just be a constant re-reading of a cycle of 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451?
I think OP suggested that we read fiction, so those three are out.
I'm tempted to suggest something extremely weird/terrible just for the fun of it.
Oedipus Rex, anyone?

Literally none of these would have been my top 3. Thomas Sowell, Roger Scruton, Starship Troopers.
