I do not want to read a bunch of gross torture porn, though.

Greg Egan is far more interesting and spares you that.

Some of Player of Games, too. Use of Weapons has a creative piece of furniture. You gotta excuse Banks, he was also a horror writer.

(I may just be forgetting; it's probably at least a decade since I last read it.)
