A review by rachel_jozie
Teratologist by Edward Lee, Wrath James White
3.5
*I’m not going to give you the ‘what this book is about’ blurb – you can read that elsewhere.
1. I had a friend tell me this book was too much for them, so of course, I had to dive right in. Seriously, I ordered it from Amazon immediately after that conversation. I’ve read quite a bit of Lee this year, so I knew what I was getting into, but I did still have a small gag reaction pretty quickly in the 1st chapter. It’s what Lee does.
2. If you’ve read Lee and White both – it’s pretty apparent who wrote what (at least I *think* it is), so if you’re hoping for a seamless meshing of styles, this is not it. But if you’re looking for good f-ed up fun from 2 awesome authors that may also tickle your gag reflex, this is it.
3. Religious horror will always be one of my favorite sub-genres…tropes…whatever. This is a different take on it than I’ve read before, and it was highly enjoyable. I especially loved how broad of a brush the authors painted with when crapping on religion. *NOT faith, mind you, organized religion – there is a difference.
