More fun than a barrel of hillbilly gore.

The Bighead is not somethin ta scare yer kids with. He is fer real and he is on a misshun. He don't know what it is, but he hears a voice what says COME! An' come he does! Hail, everybody comes! I kin tell ya eggs-ackley what happens, but some a ya may be sen-stiff. If you kin read past the colosteramy bag part, you should be good ta go. Have a might of a good time.3.5 jugs'a hooch

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

**********SPOILER*****************This is one gross book full of sick and cruel acts. Edward Lee’s terrific writing style kept me going to the end of the book. This is basically 315 pages of redneck jokes contained in a hardback book. At first, I was wondering whether it has any philosophical content, such as a Nietzschean statement about nihilism or death of God, but I think it is basically a book of cruel redneck jokes. It was one insane, meaningless cruel act after another. At first, it was f...

Wow!! This book was crazy! And sick....but I loved every minute of it! If you don't have a weak stomach, I highly recommend it. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be humorous, but I laughed throughout it. I guess I'm kind of demented, too!

Edward Lee has some serious, serious issues. This one takes every taboo it can find and bumps up the WTF factor until you are dry heaving. A back woods corn-hole F and torture fest. There is actually a story in there somewhere but you need to wade thru the blood and pecker snot to find it. Some serious twisted sh*t in this one. If you are easily offended in any way, then you need to run, not walk, as far away from this one as you can. I can’t help but wonder about myself…since I actually liked i...

Quite a book. Well written with a quick pace and a decent, satisfying ending. Definitely not for the squeamish but if you're a true horror fanatic, take the challenge!

Oh my. This was super-crazy. Exceptional in its own way. I think Edward Lee is a brilliant author, and the genre is lucky to have him. But well, it's certianly not for everyone; I mean if you have no idea what you're going to meet, don't even try.I read this book for quite a long time because it started rather slowly. Several separate storylines (and some parts written phonetically in dialect, which was a bit difficult for me... but other parts were written in such a clean, precise language they...

Story 5/5Narration 5/5I loved it!!!

Here's my more in-depth YouTube review of this book!This is a bizarre, exploitative tale of murder and all kinds of debauchery and assault imaginable. That's how it was recommended to me, and that's what I got. Usually, such texts are, more than anything, a cumbersome read for me, since extreme depictions of graphic violence usually read as ridiculous and humorous when overdone (and this certainly was those things on more than one occasion). However, what really captivated me about this novel wa...

I am following the Facebook page for the movie they're trying to make. (Edward Lee's The Bighead - The Movie)The more I read, the more convinced I became - convinced that the film cannot be done! At least, not in regards to the book!This graphic sex, rape, bodily fluid, and scat filled book was enough to literally make me nauseous - almost losing the battle once or twice!If you haven't read the book, then the movie might turn out to be one of the best horror / torture porn movies since the origi...

This is a signed and numbered copy of the Necro edition. numbered 372 of 400.Test your boundaries of good taste and violence with Edward Lee's "Bighead". for characters you get the two deplorable redneck hillbillies Tritt and Balls. Not to mention Bighead.You've been warned, the novel is filled with some of the most perverse, disturbed imagery that one can imagine.The story begins with two pretty girls from the big city coming to visit one of their aunts in the countryside. Unfortunately, their

So i'se done finishd this, an'ha kyn 'nestly says it was sum good harmless fun, hey! Anyway, here's what this meld of offense akin to ass sweat, week-old underarm b.o., old shit and stale piss and halitosis and dick-stink and God knows what else, all distilled down by the heat of the earth is all about. There's this bigass deformed sumbitch with a huge fuckoff head and an even bigger cock who goes 'round raping everything walking on two legs, cracking their head open, and eating their brains whe...

With its first sentence The Bighead decrees that decency is dead and that only a veritable sewer system of bad taste awaits the reader for the next three hundred and fifty pages. Imagine Edward Lee as the prose equivalent of a one-man Troma Entertainment, and if the potential reader finds that palatable, then they will be rewarded with a red-neck phantasmagoria of taboo titillation. The plot is secondary, but not irrelevant: in the backwoods of Virginia an eight-foot tall scatological nightmare

Romance novel for rapists, murderers, and cannibals. Although I am none of those, I just can't stop reading it either.

3.5 stars.Review pending.

I regret that GR doesn't have half-star ratings because that's what this book deserves. I've read other Lee books and enjoyed them, even though he pushes the envelope.This book, even for horror, has not one milligram of artistic merit. In just about every chapter two hillbillies kidnap/rape/sodomize/extract teeth/rip out intimate body parts/smash skulls. When the two hillbillies aren't making mischief, The Bighead is ripping open women (and some men) with his 14-inch trouser snake and cannibaliz...

Lee’s The Bighead is purely disgusting. Every horrible thing that can be done to another human being seems to be described in relentless detail in this novel including, but in no way limited to, Colostomy Bag sex. For me, the book was very interesting to read but the over-the-top violence seemed cartoonish and hilarious to me. I didn’t find it disturbing in the slightest. Books like Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door or Gonzalez’s Survivor were disturbing to me because of emotional value and I didn’t

This is the most filthy, disgusting, raunchy, sickening, revolting, repellent, repulsive, stomach-churning, nauseating, nasty, and vomit-inducing piece of fiction I have ever read.And... I loved it.he he he

While I felt that the ending slightly let me down (I wasn’t expecting demons, I just wanted gross inbred cannibals) I still really enjoyed this book for what it is. Pure, good old fucked up torture porn. Some of the scenes were gag inducing (Balls spitting phlegm in the girls mouth and making her swallow it to name one...) but I found myself pretty heartbroken when Goop was killed! It all tied together nicely in the end though and I felt like all of my questions were answered.
