Edward Lee; Wrath James White (Author), Alan Clark (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 22, 2007

Billionaire John Farrington is obsessed with the idea of offending God to the point that God would want to confront him in person. Farrington has abducted priests and nuns to commit sexual atrocities with the most grievously genetically deformed people he can find. People that he's also abducted and kept in such a high state of sexual intensity, with a drug his company produces, that they are just ravenous for physical contact. The abductees, with basically no self control, commit some of the most depraved sex acts, over, and over again. Westmore and Bryant, a photographer and journalist, are given the rare opportunity to interview the reclusive Farrington and see inside his mansion and operation. Only to find the horrors within, and who have become pawns in the mysteries they find behind every door. Farmington's plan may work, and to make sure he's successful, he will do whatever it takes to have the deity of man face him.
This newly updated edition also features an exclusive "How to Become a Teratologist: An Interview with Edward Lee and Wrath James White."

This "double-author" thing must be a hassle because there is a glaring screw-up that is driving me crazy, and I'm only 48 pages into it! Is the guy's name Farrington or is it Farringworth? When the author and journalist are told their stay would be extended, the name becomes Farringworth. There are also some glaring typos in the preceding 48 pages which; if you think I'm wrong just read it, you'll notice them, makes me wonder, "How hard is it to get a job at OCP?," because their editing/proofreading department is a bunch of dolts. I love Edward Lee and Wrath James White( especially his collaboration with P.J. O'Rourke's "Poisoning Eros" )but isn't this a disservice to their name with all these errors? And at $34.95 to boot! Get your s*@t together Overlook!

5.0 out of 5 stars So this is what has been lurking in the minds of Ed Lee and Wrath James White, April 10, 2008

This review is from: Teratologist - Interview Edition (Hardcover)

Let me start by saying that I'm not one of those people who'll give a book a lowered star rating just for lascivious, anti-religious, pornographic content. Teratologist has them all, and it strings them together with a fascinating and twisted plot. Farrington is a billionaire who keeps a harem of living nightmares, and the only way he can get off is by trysting with his various "abominations." Lee and White let us peek in on some of these scenes, and the voyeuristic style of writing is reminiscent of the Marquis de Sade's "La philosophie dans le boudoir." Much like Sade, Lee and White relish in narrative repetition and an almost diabolical descriptive excess--after you get over the initial wave of repugnance, the reading becomes quite a pleasurable process. All in all, Teratologist is one of the most imaginative, deliciously disturbing works I've ever read.
