    About this ebook

    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.

      When I first started reading TERATOLOGIST, I thought it was a made-up word. After a few pages though, I thought I would look it up anyway. It's a real word after all. Teratology is the study of abnormalities of physiological development. As you would expect with a title like that and with Lee and White as the authors, this is an extreme book. Very hardcore in its subject, in the steps taken by the protagonists, and in the characters. The first two paragraphs should be an indication of the type of story; it only gets more extreme from there.The story. Westmore (a photographer) and Bryant (a writer) work for a finance magazine and have been dispatched to do a story on Farrington (a reclusive billionaire). However, Farrington is also insane; his goal is to offend God so violently that He will come down to confront Farrington. As with any story, the pleasure or pain is in the details.Overall, I'd say this was a good B-movie type of book. I could easily see where the three acts of the story came into play. The plot had enough story to get to the third act comfortably. I wasn't enthralled but I also didn't want to stop reading. Then the final act surprised me and was much better than I thought. It was a simple, direct ending that worked around the conflicts in the story but also closed all the plot elements. I was very satisfied with the second half of the book. I did have two minor issues with the book though. The billionaire kept changing names throughout the book; at some points he was Farrington while at others he was Farringworth. It probably corresponded to when Lee and White switched the writing; if I could figure out which author liked Farrington, then I could identify their sections of the book. My other minor complaint was that many of the abnormalities were described in complex medical terms: "..uniltareral hemihypertropy with congenital asymmetry, not to mention acute hyperpituitaryism." Translating that to something I understood was necessary. To paraphrase Bones from Star Trek, I'm a Sales Engineer, not a Doctor. Theoretically I should have been looking up the terms but it wasn't really necessary because a simpler definition was always provided. The medical terms kept throwing me though. In the end, I found the book enjoyable but not the best work of either author.

      Für schwache Nerven, Kinder, rosarotglitzergewöhnte Mädchen und Menschen mit einem starken Moraldenken sowie der Abneigung allzu harter Sexdarstellungen sei gesagt: Bitte nicht weiterlesen und schon gar nicht in diesem Buch!Für viele waren schon mit dem ersten Titel der FESTA extrem Reihe (FESTA extrem?: in diesem Privatdruck des FESTA Verlages werden Titel verlegt, dessen Verbreitung der Handel boykottiert hat, weil die Geschichten auf die eine oder andere Weise zu extrem für den gemeinen Markt sind) die Grenzen der Absurdidät und des Lesbaren erreicht.Der zweite Teil schwächelte da schon ein wenig mehr, doch was diesem Band fehlte, macht dieser in jeder einzelnen Zeile wieder wett. Sie fanden DAS SCHWEIN grausam? Das hier ist mit nichts zu überbieten. Das an dieser Stelle keine ab 18 Zensur gesetzt wurde, ist aufgrund des Inhalts eher fragwürdig und wirft wieder die Frage nach den Bewertungskriterien auf.Worum geht es?:Bryant und Westmore, ihres Zeichens Journalisten und Fotografen, bekommen den Auftrag, den geheimnisumwitterten Milliadär John Farrington zu interviewen. Doch als sie in seine Villa kommen, wird ihnen schnell klar, dass der Wahnsinn hier sein Unwesen treibt. Farrington ist ein Sammler und noch viel mehr: Er möchte Gott herausfordern und ihn zwingen, sich ihm zu zeigen. Zu diesem Zweck befinden sich auf seinem Anwesen Männer, Frauen und Zwitterwesen, die unter verschiedensten Erbkrankheiten und Verstümmelungen leiden. Mit Hilfe einer speziellen Droge werden sie weiteren höherrangigen Gästen gefügig gemacht.Kein Buch, dass mich vom Hocker gerissen hat, wenn man versucht mit Sex den Ekelfaktor in die Höhe zu treiben, auch wenn der Autor Edward Lee hier in Kooperation mit Wrath James White gewohnt flüssig und konsequent schreibt. Die einzige Regung meinerseits war eine hochgeschobene Augenbraue, denn DER TERATOLOGE konnte mich nicht überzeugen. Weiterhin enttäuschend: die schlappen 136 Seiten, das bislang dünnste Buch der Reihe. Schade eigentlich, denn Lee hat soviel Potential. Hier streift man von einer Absurdidät zur nächsten, was dem Ende des Buches natürlich zuträglich ist, jedoch den Leser entweder abschreckt oder (für die Hartgesottenen unter uns) müde werden lässt.
