monstrosities
Grotesque, horrifying things
Monstrosities are things that are shockingly ugly, deformed, or wrong—violations of natural or aesthetic order.
The word often describes architectural eyesores or bureaucratic absurdities: Those concrete monstrosities ruined the skyline.
It can also refer to acts of cruelty or injustice so extreme they seem inhuman: the monstrosities committed during the war.
