An infamous 1973 novel by J.G. Ballard, Crash became the basis for a just as infamous 1996 film by David Cronenberg. It tells the tale of one James Ballard, a film producer and his wife Catherine. One day, he gets into a fatal car accident. He then meets the survivor of the other car, Helen, and discovers an underground subculture devoted to staging car crashes as a sexual fetish. It gets weirder from there.
