Grotesque - Special Edition

by Mark Foster, Odo Pfaff (Illustrator)

Relive the outrageously comic story of Charlie Whitman in this even more disgusting special edition – featuring the original short film script upon which the novel was based, never-before-seen artwork by illustrator Odo Pfaff – including the original front cover, as well as personal pictures and notes by the author collected during his research trips to Paris and Barcelona.
This definitive edition lifts the lid on the creative process of making Grotesque a cult classic, including post-epilogue conversations between Charlie Whitman and visitors to the exhibition.
The Special Edition is not to be missed.

Dark, disgusting and wrong!It’s unlike anything you will ever read.
Charlie had me feeling disgusted and made my skin crawl, yet had me quietly rooting for him at the same time. Encountering some of the lowest forms of human life on the way, you will question your very being and moral beliefs.
“Charlies’ exist - you just never want to meet one.”
I just couldn't put this book down. Omg you will be shocked.
"It is not an ordinary job," the Frenchman had told me, "you may have to get your hands a little dirty."
Here I am, Charlie fucking Whitman - still pissed from last night, driving a rental car with two retarded kids in the back, somewhere between Barcelona and Paris. I used to be an art dealer, I suppose I still am, but now I do bad things for good money.
Everything has its price, and I think I've just found mine.

[Roy Simmons · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t like the main character so it was hard for me to stay reading this book. After much perseverance…the chocking ending is what bumped it up from a 2 star to a 3. I really did not see that surprising ending that came at all.
