    About this ebook

    Who is he? What is he? An inbred homicidal pervert? A supernatural psychopath? Who or whatever he is, he's on a roll now, raging out of the Virginia backwoods and leaving in his wake a trail of blood, guts, and disgust far beyond the limits of your reckoning.

    Never before has a work of fiction dared to delve so deeply into the realms of perversion, sexual dementia, and bad taste.

      Hat etwas von einem Drama ...
    • 3/5
      I thought I knew all about sick and twisted things, before I read this book. I mean, I thought there were rules. I've read plenty of sick and twisted books in the past, but most of them have a line they will not cross. For instance, most of the time, if some serial killer picks up an underage girl and drags her off to his lair, you're not gonna get too many details of that encounter. It's gonna be some pussy-whipped ending to a chapter. He gets her to his lair, and then...

      Authors usually leave those gory details out. I guess they're too scared to write about gang raping a 12 year old girl. Or boy, for that matter. But Edward Lee is not one of those authors. He'll tell you every gory detail about that experience. How the boy tasted his sister's shit on his dad's cock, while his dad raped his mouth.

      But that's just one small example. There's so much gore and debauchery in this book, it literally is torture porn. I mean, it's not just torture that some may find erotic. It's seriously graphic torture and graphic rape over and over and over. It's real fucking porn.

      Not that there's anything wrong with that. I have to give Lee props for really going to town on this story, and not holding back at all. I rather enjoyed reading it. For the most part, it was absolutely fascinating. And I have to admit that I got wood more than once while reading this thing. Yes, I'm a sick and twisted pervert. What of it?

      The only thing that really bothered me about this book wasn't the gore or the porn, it was the fucked up style of prose that the author went with. Most of the book is written in broken redneck like english which was really annoying as fuck to read. But I understood why it was written that way. Because these sick fucks are backwoods idiots who can't talk right. Or something.

      But the bit that really gets me is that every time there's a scene with a redneck, it's always written with that same broken english prose. I get using that style with one guy. Especially with The Bighead himself. It was like an inner monologue or something. But for the rest of the redneck characters?

      It was weird, because he gave those characters unique traits. They had their own voice, their own dialog and such, their own characteristics. So why the same goddamn prose? The only characters in this book who had normal style prose were the so-called "city folk". So Lee kept switching back and forth, between these two styles, and it drove me absolutely bat-shit insane.

      I'd recommend this book to anyone who thinks they are a sick and twisted pervert. Because you fucks don't know what sick and twisted means, until you read this disgusting book.

      Starts slow but gets oh so good!

      Nachdem Bigheads Großvater starb, zieht es ihn in die verbotene Welt hinaus. Eine große, plumpe Gestalt mit einem melonengroßen Kopf die er ist, lässt er auf seinem Weg hinauf in die alte Abtei eine Spur aus Blut, Verstümmelung und Vergewaltigung zurück.Charity besucht derweil ihre Tante, die ein gemütliches Gästehaus in der Nähe der Abtei bewohnt. Mit auf ihrem Weg hat sie Jerrica genommen, eine sexsüchtige und drogenabhängige Journalistin. Auch der Priester Tom Alexander hat sich in das Gästehaus eingemietet, denn sein göttlicher Weg hat ihn zur Abtei geführt, um diese wieder zu eröffnen.Doch Charitys Tante verbirgt ein dunkles Geheimnis. Und dann sind da ja auch noch Dicky und Balls, die sich ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste alles nehmen, was ihnen in den Weg kommt…Wild, sexistisch und ekelerregend. In Lees Welt entspricht kein gezeichneter Charakter der Normalität. Normalität ist out.Detailgetreu und ohne Rücksicht auf die Empfindlichkeiten des Lesers beschreibt der Autor die Übergriffe Bigheads und der beiden Dealer/Schmuggler Dicky und Balls. Je blutiger und sexistischer desto besser. Bighead ist dabei noch ein Sinnbild der Unschuld. Er tut nur das, was er von seinem Großvater gelernt hat, der für seinen Teil selbst Außenseiter und der Welt überdrüssig war. Abschnittsweise wechselt Lee die Perspektive und auch der Sprachstil passt sich dem Horizont der handelnden Figur an. Spannung baut sich auf und man wartet auf den Knall. Und das Warten wird belohnt.Mein Urteil: Einfach nur geil. Ich werde keine fünf Sterne vergeben, weil ich damit generell knauserig bin und die nur für Bücher reserviert sind, die mich überraschen und vom Hocker hauen.Teilweise stieg echter Ekel in mir auf. Die Szenen sind aber auch ausschweifend beschrieben….Eine gute Geschichte, bei der man auch ein bisschen miträtseln kann, denn das Geheimnis, dass die Tante in sich trägt, beschäftigt den Leser schon von Anfang an. Nichts für schwache Nerven und eher ein Kandidat für die FESTA extrem Reihe…Das führt uns wieder zu der Frage zurück: Warum wurde dieses Buch nicht boykottiert, aber Rock´n Roll Zombies aus der Besserungsanstalt? Wer setzt hier die Maßstäbe?

      How to review the Bighead….what a daunting task. As you can tell from the other reviewers this book isn’t for the squeamish or faint of heart or the horror lite crowd. This book pushes the envelope of violence and gore to the point of paper cutting your eyeballs while reading it. If you want to say “yes I have read one of the most disturbing books ever” just read this book. When people tell me they have read something disturbing by Koontz or King…I just scoff and go on. 5 stars for being one of the most fucked up books ever. Welcome to the world of Splatter Punk. Buckle your seatbelt for this ride, get your barf bag ready and prepare to put on some depends.

      This was probably one of the dumbest books I've ever read. Brutal and sick for grossness sake only. Yuck.
