Customer Reviews

Delightfully Grotesque!

Wow! Fantastic! If you are searching for one of the most malevolently cringing, bile-inducing, explicitly graphic books ever written go no further than the Teratologist. This book goes far beyond any sane levels of extreme. A total debauchery towards any and everthing religous and holy. You will feel uncomfortable in your own dirty flesh after embarking on this whirlwind of discust and utter insanity. Mr. Lee and Mr. White have created a story that will make their readers smile in delight with the strong waves of nausea that ensue abundantly throughout this book. The images that are created in the Teratologist will linger in your stomach as well as your mind long after it's complete!

Kings of Grossout Horror!!

Edward Lee and Wrath James White are the Kings of Grossout Horror! This book is not for the weak, it has very strong content. But for those who enjoy being grosssed out, it is a must read!

Hmm......

Having just recently read another one of Wrath James White's other collaborrations I was very curious as to what I would find. Where Poisoning Eros was basically an excercise in dusgusting imagery, this novella actually contained a plot. Yes it was disgusting and some will surely find it offensive, however it was a fast and enjoyable read. Edward Lee does some of his better work here. Lately his mass market paperback titles have been lacking his usual quality. He shows off the reason why he is so popular in this book. I have heard people refer to this book as a collaborration between the torch bearer and the future king of extreme fiction. I would recommend this to anyone who loves their fiction on the extreme side.

Sick Sick Sick......Couldn't put it down...

Some people want all the money in the world, and some people want to rule the world. But Farrington wants to challenge God.If there was ever a book written that will make you throw up your dinner, this is the one. A mere 116 pages will leave your psyche scathed and bleeding, and your mouth wide open in a silent scream of repulsion. With that in mind, take this journey as I did.Westmore and Bryant, photographer and reporter respectively, get the big assignment of interviewing the mega rich Farrington; a man who has never truly been photographed before and whose ultra rich lifestyle is a complete mystery. They have an unlikely friendship, with Bryant seeming to have all his ducks in a row, and Westmore being a bit of a loser and a big time drinker. It doesn't take long for them to discover that things are very, very wrong at the Farrington mansion, and that they are a "paid in full" part of his diabolical plan to record for properity his sick and twisted challenge to God.Now, realize that a Teratologist does not study terrain or geology as some might think; Teratology is the study of study of malformations or serious deviations from the normal type in organisms. In other words; Freaks, the grossly disfigured, the grotesque and warped forgotten aberrations of the human world. Farrington is a collecter of these damaged and oppressed oddities and deviants, stealing them away from the institutions that both care for them and abuse them. His intentions are no nobler than those who abused these horribly deformed creatures though, it is these souls that he intends to call God with.Manufacturing a new drug that will make viagra look like a sugar pill, he uses these tortured subjects along with kidnapped religious leaders to test his new drug, while in the process attempting to thwart and anger God so much that He will show his face. When you take Edward Lee and add in James White, you are indeed asking for the most gruesome of monsters, the most horrid of atrocities, and can rest assured that they will be told in the most drippingly explicit detail imaginable. If you are faint of heart, easily repulsed, have a weak gag reflex, or are quick to disgorge the contents of your stomach from precise and specific descriptions of simply terrifyingly gross material, put this book down and back slowly away from it.But if you occasionally enjoy a warped romp through a sickening, twisted, evilly painted environment of insane grossness; this is your kind of roller coaster. Enjoy!

SICK, TWISTED, GREAT STUFF

Teratologist is classic gross-out Edward Lee. It is a story about a man who forces the most holy of people (priests, rabbies, nuns, etc...)to perform over-the-top, sick, offensive, demented acts of sex to anger God to the point that he will show-up in person and grant his wish of a one-to-one meeting. Becareful what you wish for. Edward Lee is great as usual and I am new to the work of James White Wrath but liked the book enough that I would like to find more of his work. Mr Wrath has another book out BROKEN that I look foward to reading.The only down side is that Teratologist is short, but if you like Lee get this book.
