Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is a short and disturbing tale about a man, Gregor Samsa, who wakes from disturbing dreams to find himself in an even more disturbing reality. Metamorphosis is a dark look at humanity, our need for conformity, and our inability to adapt to that which does not fit into our perception of normal. Metamorphosis follows Gregor's transformation into a dung beetle like character who first has to cope with his own changes and then with his family's ever decreasing opinion of him in his new state.
