Mary Shelly- Frankenstein
That's not depressing. I've just finished reading that.

Couldn't easily find english translations, but by far the most depressing writer ever is Fjodor Michailowitsch Dostojewski.
'Der idiot' and 'Schuld und Sühne' are very depressing.
a quote stolen from a review on amazon.de
'Dostoyevsky's rendering of 18th-century Russia emerges unscathed, bringing the dark pathos (such as wretched poverty and rampant suffering) to life.'
Don't blame me that you'll get suicidal after reading his books.
On the Peripheral
I really enjoyed Crime and Punishment, but The House of the Dead] is also a good read.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
