Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Unapologetically Sexual Nightmare
Make no mistake, this book is unabashed terror porn, with rife, vividly cruel sexuality. It's explicit in terms of both sex and scenes of unimaginable violence, sort of like what "My Life at Rose Red" would be like if it were reimagined by Larry Flynt and Marilyn Manson. Edward Lee's work has appeared in famous horror anthologies including the "Hot Blood" series.

If you realise, however, what you are getting into, this book is well-written and a capitvating read. It is not for everyone, and don't read it on an empty stomach, but if you're into terror with a streak of bizarre smut, this is the book for you.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - 5 STARS!
By far, my favorite of Lee's books. This story will pull you in and have you eagerly anticipating the chapters to come. As with most of Lee's writing this is not for the squiemish, but an ABSOLUTE must for any real horror fan. Enjoy the visions of this book, its something far few authors are able to properly do. Absolutely Fantastic!!!



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Not as "Shocking" as I was expecting
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this book... it wasn't nearly as horrifying, violent, or disturbing as I was lead to believe. In my never-ending hunt for a good haunted house tale I picked this up. I had never read anything by Edward Lee before but had heard that he borders on pornographic so I was a bit leery of starting.

Short Summary: The book opens with the "shocking" murders of everyone that works at T&T porn company; they are all hacked to tiny bits in disturbing cultish fashion by the owner of the porn company who then vanishes. So the widow of the billionaire owner takes it upon herself to call in a pack of psychics an ex-priest, and a writer/PI to investigate the house and determine what her now missing and obviously homicidal husband had planned. Bad things start happening, everyone is horny, dead bodies pile up then disappear everyone is telling lies or half-truths, it all becomes very mysterious.

Well the opening was rough, the porn industry weighs heavily on the plot, and everyone seems to be a bit sex-starved... but I felt rather blasé about the whole "sex" topic in the book. I don't see that someone could read this and be turned on (but long ago I learned you never can tell with some guys). Most of the sex is depraved, but it's all past tense, and not very descriptive to the point of it almost becoming comedic - "Look a woman with a goat!" The violence all also seems to "happen off stage" for the most part, so it's nothing at all like "Off Season" for over the top gore. Also the lack of description seems to lighten it a bit because there really aren't the big disgusting details that some of the other authors use to make us cringe while reading. I do, however, now know how to run all kinds of paranormal psychic testing and ghost detecting equipment courtesy of the long and involved owner's manual that resides about a third of the way into the book. Actually it wasn't that bad, but the over explanation made me wonder at that point if I was going to be able to continue on to the end of the book, happily I made it past all of the technical jargon and the class on "Abbreviations used by Psychics."

In actuality this is a fairly standard haunted house book... it seems to be very similar in plot to the bad movie version of "Haunting of Hill House" only replace the people who can't sleep with psychics and replace the child murderer with "owner of porn studio" and you pretty much have this book. It's nothing new, but that doesn't mean it isn't a bit fun to read. You can fly right through it because the lack of description keeps your mind from bothering to picture much of it. Pretty good read if you're bored and looking for something quick and mindless.




Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Uh...yeah...
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie...whatever happened to you in your youth to cause such depravity to run rampant in your little skull?

I LOVE Edward Lee, he is one sick puppy, but folks, isn't that what horror is all about? Mr Lee delivers a powerful punch. He starts strong and is able to keep the momentum going for the entire length of the story and just when you think you don't have any more breath in your lungs, he sucker punches you in the gut and you are left even more breathless!!!

The Hildreth House is a place of great debauchery. People inside the house are doped up, horny, devil worshipping fools. That's not even the good part. There is evil that can't be explained, or understood. After all in the house, save one, is slaughtered, Richard Westmore, a journalist, is hired by Vivica Hildreth to find out what happened to her husband in the house that fated night. Westmore is joined by a band of psychics, mediums, etc, in an endeavor to prove the place is haunted.

This is one sick read, but in true Edward Lee style, I defy you to put the book down. Mr Lee is one of the best in horror fiction today. I am willing to bet that even his grocery list is a scary read! The only reason I can't give the book a 5 star rating is that it drags out too long. You can only read about demon rapes, spirit rapes, and human rapes for so many pages then you are ready to move on. Aside from that, Lee has churned out another fantastic work of horror.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - The King of shock, Ed lee
This was the very first book by Ed Lee that I ever read, and I have since read almost all of his others. He has spoiled me when it comes to reading horror, because anything else I read seems boring now.

Flesh Gothic is without a doubt his most graphic Horror/Erotica book that I have read. It mixes hardcore blood and guts with erotica that would make Penthouse stand up and salute.

It's as graphic as you can get, but it has outstanding vision and excellent writing.
