Edward Lee
269 books1,455 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name.
Edward Lee is an American novelist specializing in the field of horror, and has authored 40 books, more than half of which have been published by mass-market New York paperback companies such as Leisure/Dorchester, Berkley, and Zebra/Kensington. He is a Bram Stoker award nominee for his story "Mr. Torso," and his short stories have appeared in over a dozen mass-market anthologies, including THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES OF 2000, Pocket's HOT BLOOD series, and the award-wining 999. Several of his novels have sold translation rights to Germany, Greece, and Romania. He also publishes quite actively in the small-press/limited-edition hardcover market; many of his books in this category have become collector's items. While a number of Lee's projects have been optioned for film, only one has been made, HEADER, which was released on DVD to mixed reviews in June, 2009, by Synapse Films.
Lee is particularly known for over-the-top occult concepts and an accelerated treatment of erotic and/or morbid sexual imagery and visceral violence.
He was born on May 25, 1957 in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Bowie, Maryland. In the late-70s he served in the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division, in Erlangen, West Germany, then, for a short time, was a municipal police officer in Cottage City, Maryland. Lee also attended the University of Maryland as an English major but quit in his last semester to pursue his dream of being a horror novelist. For over 15 years, he worked as the night manager for a security company in Annapolis, Maryland, while writing in his spare time. In 1997, however, he became a full-time writer, first spending several years in Seattle and then moving to St. Pete Beach, Florida, where he currently resides.
Of note, the author cites as his strongest influence horror legend H. P. Lovecraft; in 2007, Lee embarked on what he calls his "Lovecraft kick" and wrote a spate of novels and novellas which tribute Lovecraft and his famous Cthulhu Mythos. Among these projects are THE INNSWICH HORROR, "Trolley No. 1852," HAUNTER OF THE THRESHOLD, GOING MONSTERING, "Pages Torn From A Travel Journal," and "You Are My Everything." Lee promises more Lovecraftian work on the horizon.

*Read with 𝐓𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧*
𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐠𝐬 was my first introduction to 𝘌𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘓𝘦𝘦's work, and it was a humbling reading experience, among other things. Just when I thought I have seen all the highlights of depravity in fiction, I was proven wrong. During the past few days, 𝘌𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘓𝘦𝘦 was the arsonist of my perpetual laughter. I would like to think that even the soul which congealed into a stiff, grimy lump wouldn't stand a chance against this steamy, comical grandeur of such a nasty, nightmarish, face-melting, grotesque mating dance. Now, I must confess that I've found myself questioning my morals more than once while reading this collection. How could I possibly enjoy such horrific foulness? I would like to put at least part of the fault for that on 𝘓𝘦𝘦's creative mind and deranged sense of humor. I would also like to offer a formal apology to my fellow animals, specifically to all the pigs and dogs out there. I wasn't proud of myself for laughing when I knew I should have been repulsed, but in the spirit of brutal honesty, I'll admit that I wasn't even remotely repulsed. I was mesmerized by the image of 𝘓𝘦𝘦, sitting at his desk and writing this.
𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐠𝐬 includes "The Pig", "The House," and the "Ouija Pig.""" All three novellas were tied through a series of grotesque events that took place in the same house over the course of time and through one cursed pig. To say that this was one of the most outrageous, vile, yet creative, and very well written executions of a haunted house/ghost story I've ever read would be an understatement. 𝘓𝘦𝘦 might be a sick puppy, but he is also a skillful writer with an incredibly rich imagination, one who allows no limits or taboos to stop him.
I loved every moment of this wild ride, and I'm not quite sure what it says about me. That being said, "The Pig" is my absolute favorite out of the collection, as it holds the perfect balance between horror elements and a dark sense of humor, the kind of humor which, for me, is like gluten for a celiac patient. I know it's bad, but I can't keep away, and if you have a strong stomach, you shouldn't either.

This is a collection of three all books of a trilogy. The pig 1997, the house 2016, and Ouija pig 2022.
I am very glade I read these books together. Each individual book is very short and so I didn’t feel completely satisfied by the end of the individuals installments. But when combined really gives me time to link in the world and get a good feel for it, and feel satisfied at all by the end.
I found the first book (the pig) to be the strongest of the three because the second and third of both really heavily on the events of the first one. All the books feature a Newcastle characters. (minus one Demon that’s in all three.) and they all go to the same location and end up having a crazy adventure in sex, drugs, and depravity.
The here to work is very well done as each book features a unique cast characters that may see some characteristics, but you definitely get the feel that they are their own person. Some you synthesize with, is astonished with the sick things they perform. But from the start, you’re always entertained by the extreme horror and violence.
I will reread these at some point and will be reading a lot more by this author!

What is truth really? Can it be revealed through a cruciform shape formed of bone shards? Maybe, but that sounds too fancy. Peer into the vale. Darkness broken by bright orange light reveals horrifying nameless atrocities. (Also, you can view said atrocities through a film editor. Or whatever digital gadget you are sporting.) Well, I can actually name a few key elements: scat, nek, snuff, freak, and what was the one with animals? Bes? This book by my new hero will tell you three grotesque and sticky stories that will surely be velcroed to your unabashedly and ultimately possessed mind. And you can learn some really cool trivia, too. I'm glad I'm as old as I am. I got all the references (unless they were about sports). Is that dog food in your fridge?

My rating is absolutely biased in favor of this book because I have, at long last, found an author who included (minor spoiler ahead) murder by auger, something I've been wanting to see in extreme horror since I've started reading extreme horror basically. Also, Lee gave me a break from sex scenes in an entertaining way so another plus.
Otherwise? It was goofy at times but there was a decent story in the nonsense, gore and sex. There were quite a few interesting kill scenes too, if that's your jam.

Instead, he dreamt that he was sliding his erection into the mouth of Chloe’s severed head, and when his orgasm broke and transported him to an incalculable realm of ancient forbidden pleasure, way way back in the deepest pit of his soul, he could hear the chortles, the snorts, and the oinks of thousands–no! Millions of pigs.

Three Little Pigs contains three sequential novellas by Lee, "The Pig" from 1997, "The House" from 2005, and "Ouija Pig" from 2022. Lee's infamous "The Pig" was my favorite, easily 5 stars, and is as gross, depraved and funny as any of Lee's works. It starts off with a used up junkie ho drinking pig semen from a shot glass and then her and another junkie ho having sex with a pig. How did this strange series of events come to pass? Well, Lee takes us back about a year in time and then comes back to these scenes toward the end. Basically, our main protagonist Leonard got mixed up with the mob in 1977 and, because of his expertise with film and such, was forced to film all kinds of bizarre porn (featuring animals with the two aforementioned junkie hos), snuff films and whatever else was 'required' by the mob Don. I cannot think of any other author that can combine highly degrading lewd scenes with so much dark humor. Really a classic!
"The House" takes place about 30 years after "The Pig" and of course is set in the same house out in the sticks where the Mob shot the porno/snuff/torture etc. films in the first novella. The house now has a reputation for being haunted and our protagonist here, Melvin, is similar to Leonard in that they are both in their young 30s, nerds and virgins. Melvin, however, goes to the house to write a piece about haunted real estate for some rag he works for and has to bring his knockout stepmom (Dad's orders) because he is such a loser. Lets just say things get a little strange. Finally, "Ouija Pig" takes place roughly now when as documentary (docutainment really) crew called Paranormal Patrol decide to kick off their third season with a stay at the old Mafia snuff house.
I really do not want to say much about the various plots of the novellas, but be assured they feature plenty of seedy, outrageous sex scenes, ghosts and of course pigs. In the last novella, we also get some of Lee's self conscious musings like he gave us in White Trash Gothic which are always a lot of fun. So, looking for some classic, off-the-chain Edward Lee? Look no further! 4.5 piggy stars!!

"The Pig" is my absolute favorite story between the 3 of them. I'm usually not a fan of ghost stories and other surnatural stuff, but I have to admit that this book was very very good. But only for "The Pig" I would have bought this book, this is now one of my favorite story.

Book 1/The Pig: Summer of 1977
A film maker named Leonard takes a loan from Paul Vinchetti - district boss for the mob - that he ends up not being able to pay back. Rather than kill him as they normally would, it is decided Leonard will work off his debt to the mob, shooting their porno movies for one year. He will stay at the extremely isolated Vinchetti house with two of the "actresses," nothing more than skinny, strung-out girls no longer even worthy of being paid for prostitution.
Leonard has witnessed a lot in the 10 months he's been filming for the mob: beastiality, snuff films, gang bangs, rape, necrophilia, extreme torture, scat and everything else in between, even being forced to participate at times. Shocking, sometimes, nauseating, always - but honestly, fairly routine at this point. Until the night the men bring the pig.
The movie, while foul as always, pretty much goes to plan. Afterward however, Leonard hears the two girls yelling for him. He runs to their room and sees them beating the pig to death for eating their heroin. Right in the middle of trying to dispose of the corpse, there is a knock at the door. It is a girl from the Ephiphanite compound down the road - the only neighbors for hours. She invites herself in, saying she had to get away because her grandfather is freaking out because "the pig got away."
She tells Leonard the pig is part of their Penitence Festival, which can't officially end without it. When she leaves, he gets the idea to butcher and eat the pig - since they are so hungry. In the morning, he wakes the girls up, expecting gratitude, but all they want is drugs. Something inside Leonard snaps and seeing red, he proceeds to brutally beat the two drug-addicted girls to death, tossing one corpse to the dogs out back and using the other as his personal sex doll.
He wakes sometime later, thinking it was a bad dream, until he sees the carnage all around him. He wonders what on earth came over him - where the rage and strength came from. Then he notices he's turning green...
Not knowing what else to do, he goes to look for Esther, the girl from the compund. When he finds her, he confesses his employers stole the pig, there was an accident and it died, then he ate it.
"You ate the Emblem of the Sacrifant! The Penitence Festival is a symbolic ritual. For six days we pray in silence for God to purge us of our sins and to banish those sins. We ask God to banish them into the Penitence Host, which we also call the Sacrifant. We transpose our sins into the physical body of the pig! The meat is considered unholy! It's the worldly vessel of sin! You're not supposed to eat it, you're supposed to burn it and bury it - purge it from physical existence!"
"I turned green."
"I hate to tell you this, but you haven't just turned green. You turned into a fucking demon."
Leonard then kills his bosses, gathers Esther and four other girls from the compound - all five now carrying his baby - and takes off in his bosses car to start a new life.
Book 2/The House: 2005
Melvin rents out the Vinchetti house for one week to write a story about it for the paper he works at. His father, going to be traveling for work, insists Melvin bring his brand new stepmom, Gwyneth.
It's not long at all before odd things begin to happen. Gwyneth starts to call Melvin "Leonard" and has no recollection of it immediately afterwards. Melvin hears a disembodied voice and finds things typed on his computer that he knows he didn't write. Gwyneth stands around in the yard as if in a trance. Melvin starts to have dreams about the house in '77 and sees ghosts of the dead former occupants, including Leonard. Both he and Gwyneth start sleepwalking.
Gwyneth starts digging up graves in the backyard and finds some great bones to use in her ossirial mosaics. She thinks it may even have been a pig!
Eventually, Melvin convinces Gwyneth to leave the house. When they leave, the sheriff comes by to check on the place and he finds the bone mosaic left behind in the house and thinks his wife will just love it.
Book 3/Ouija Pig: Present Day
The Paranormal Patrol - Jake, Chloe, Theo and Sarah - four friends filming a ghost adventure show decide to kick off their third season in the infamous Vinchetti house. The rental agent tells Jake about Melvin and Gwyneth, the last people to stay there. He tells him Melvin went back home and murdered Gwyneth and his father with a fire axe. Melvin was found not guilty by reason of insanity and is currently at the local mental hospital.
Almost right away, Theo hears a male voice talking to him - he tells Theo he can make all his dreams come true if he just does what he asks. First the voice demands Theo watch the sick movies filmed at the house back in '77. To his horror, he finds out he is massively turned on by the illegal porn. The more the two connect, the more real the voice becomes. Soon, Theo can see who - or what he's talking to - and it appears to be a demon. Theo is communicating with none other than Leonard himself, and he tells Theo his whole story.
It's not just Theo either; the whole group begin seeing writing on the wall, blacking out and losing their memory, seeing people in the house, having visions of former occupants. They all feel as if they're being watched.
Sarah and Theo go into town and in one of the shop windows, Sarah sees an incredible art piece made of bones she just has to have... The shop owner tells the two, the night the sheriff gave it to his wife, she slit his throat and then her own - some of their things ending up at the shop for re-sale. Theo buys the art and hangs it on the wall in the house.
Encouraged by Leonard, who wants to communicate, the group has a seance and it's not long before all hell breaks loose. At the end of the night, 3/4 of the group is dead - brutally murdered.
"He used us to kind of charge the house up with demonic energy and he did that by tricking me and you into watching those disgusting snuff flicks. Each time we did, he got more strength. He needed to stuff as much evil power as possible into that house. That was the whole plan. To corrupt God's green earth. To bring forth demon spawn."
--------------------
So, as this was three novellas, it's quite a lengthy review - it's a lot to unpack, believe me, I know. I loved all three, as I do with any Edward Lee books, short stories, novellas, etc. The one thing I'm disappointed in, is that I wanted to hear about what happened to the five mothers of Leonard's children, and the children themselves. It never came right out and said it, but Melvin from the second book was definitely one of Leonard's kids, but none of the other four were ever mentioned.

Three novellas that detail the extremely sordid history of a house in the middle of nowhere. Three Little Pigs gives us the origin of the haunted house, the repercussions, and the endgame it all leads to, creating something of a quintessential haunted house tale. As ever, Lee's style is over-the-top in the best way. You'll laugh, cringe, and try to throw up at times, but you'll always have fun doing it. In fact, fun is the key ingredient here, and the reader will have no problem channeling the fun Lee had writing these books.

Great value for 3 great Novellas.
The Pig: 🐖🐖🐖🐖
The House: 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
Ouija Pig: 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
Classic Edward Lee, and a great new novella called Ouija Pig which was a great way to end this series. Filled with tons of sex and gore.

Three Little Pigs contains three books all connected to each other. They are graphic, gross and funny as only Edward Lee can do.
The Pig the first book is definitely my favourite of the bunch. The stuff the poor women are subjected to in this whilst making "animal" films for the mafia is horrendous but his dialogue and the girls reactions do make you laugh out loud. Maybe that's just me and I'm a weirdo that's open for debate.
The House follows on from The Pig and was also very good and has the spirits of the house infecting some new residents. The characters were awesome in this and loved the scene at "the bar" and the bike gang. If you have read it you know what I mean.
Ouija Pig was the weakest of the bunch and just ok for me overall. A bunch of paranormal investigators attend the house to film a documentary however they become possessed and weirdness ensues. Its alot tamer that the other two and was written a while after the other ones. Lee even explains in the middle of the story he is over writing horrific sexual scenes. I didnt hate it by an means but was just average.

Loved it
A fascinating imagination and extreme horror author that brings a whole new meaning to horror. Edward Lee has such a way in storytelling that takes you, holds you there and doesn't let go til the very end. This series of reads were brilliant, with characters that you could connect with and see clearly in your minds eye. I enjoyed how each set of visitors to the house all come together and you learn the house and area surroundings history. Progression of the story building and joining together to make a brilliant series of untold violence, supernatural powers and sexual deviance. A must read for any lover of horror. Definitely recommended.

I read The Pig and The House along time ago and bought this book for the addition of Quija Pig. If you love Lee’s work and enjoyed the first two books, this one is a must read.

Loved all three stories. Massively fucked up, highly sexual, some insanely funny language, and author asides through-out. Ed Lee being his Ed Lee best.

When the book opens with ....
"Sissy looked at the shot glass full of pig semen and threw it back neat. " ....... i just knew this would not disappoint. It's a funny, sexual nasty set of 3 interlinking stories, but a great read! 👌

THREE LITTLE PIGS: THE PIG, THE HOUSE & OUIJA PIG - 5/5
By Edward Lee
Firstly, if you have never read an Edward Lee book before - DO NOT READ this one. This is extreme horror at its best.
I mean I don't actually know how to review this book. This was gruesome, crude, gory and quite frankly, shocking. If you can make it through THE PIG, you'll be fine with THE HOUSE and OUIJA PIG.
I loved how all three novella's came together as one book and was almost like the complete saga of this little house. This was a wonderful twist on the haunted house trope, and will definitely be one I read again!

Three novels and each one a triumph. Edward Lee has such an imagination. Some may say he shouldn't share his ideas but I for one am very glad that he does

A collection of 3 novellas so it’s only fitting to break down each:
THE PIG 🐖: This one started out overly nasty and I thought it would be one of those pointless shock value books. Luckily, as the story progressed so did the plot. The over the top violence made sense here and the finale was insane. Definitely not what I was expecting. My favorite part was when the pig ate the heroin. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/ 5
THE HOUSE 🏠: This book took on a more supernatural approach from the first. It wasn’t as disgusting but was more creepy. The characters were well written. However, this book would feel incomplete without the first. It really built off that foundation. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ / 5
OUIJA PIG 👻: This one sucked. The 4 characters were annoying and the story took a backseat to the sexual scenes. It was like a fan wrote this one. Bummer. ⭐️ ⭐️/ 5

Revisité The Pig y no podía entender que lo hubiese puesto solo cuatro estrellas, cuando me parece un Lee en el cenit de su prosa juvenil que merece cinco estrellas. Sin embargo, leí la segunda parte, The House, y entendí por qué le había puesto esa nota, porque el final no es tan exagerado como el resto de la novela, un poco anticlimático. Todo esto queda arreglado en esta edición de Evil Cookie, que con un tercer libro cierra la trilogía y tramas del primer y segundo volumen. Ouija Pig tiene un divertido grupo de investigadores y en general, como en toda la novela, hay una dinámica sexual super pasada de vueltas que provocará la risa de los lectores menos inocentes. Un lujo encontrarse tres veces con Lee con tantos años -¡décadas!- de diferencia y verlo jugar con distintos recursos.

Know that I do think less of myself for enjoying this as much as I did. But you have to really try to see beneath the skin here to really recognise the quality of the writing. It seems crass and barbaric, but the god’s honest truth is that it sings with a sort of grotesque clarity.
The section right off the bat, about The Confessor, the main character’s film... absolutely spellbinding. Dovetailed with mercilessly disgusting scenes, sure... but it doesn’t take away from its beauty, it just enhances it.
I think that this book really nimbly dances along the razor edge between horror and humour and manages to balance things to a point where you almost forget that every word you read is going to become fuel for nightmares that will not leave.
Some of the scenes in this are terrifying. Unforgivably grotesque.
But then... It has these moments of sheer morbid theatrical audacity that makes things seem a little too surreal to be anything but hilarious. Maybe that’s how madness takes hold. You just lose the ability to recognise the world objectively.
If you have a strong stomach, this one is super cheap as an ebook and I do encourage you to try it. Everyone should read books like this... if only so that you can recognise a book that should be banned.
The more I explore this kind of fiction, the more I realise that there is a real hidden world of it. Some books are even more strange than this one. There seems to be a real thirst for the sort of horror that mainstream books just cannot sate. I’ll be honest, they’re slowly winning me over.
Am I a better person for reading this? No, I’m undeniably worse. Will I read another by Edward Lee... undoubtedly.

Three little pigs are 3 stories that are connected by one evil house.
The Pig: Leonard's always wanted to make films, and he'll steal to get his equipment to shoot the best kind. One day, he comes across some evil guys, and they make him a deal to make movies for them. Little does he know the type of movies he will make. Taken place is 1977, and in a vile house, this starts off with a bang!
The House: 30 years after the events of 1977, Melvin's boss tells him to go to the famous house that is claimed to be haunted. Melvins dad tells him to take his step mom for company. Once there, both Melvin and his step mom start to see and do things that they can't imagine
Ouija Pig: Jake and his friends are a paranormal group looking for their next project. They're told of a haunted house, and they head straight towards it. Once there, all 4 members start to uncover the history of the house and start to experience paranormal activity.
Ed Lee's humor is unmatched! The way he can write so vile and yet sprinkle in so much humor is perfection. The Pig is by far the best one and I see why it's a fan favourite. The way they all connect is great and it was an overall excellent read! If you haven't read a Lee book, I highly suggest you pick one up. I highly suggest this one! Go enjoy the little piggies.

Ah! Mr Edward Lee is a sick bastard! In the best, funnest and most affectionate sense of the phrase!
There was a lot of gore and filth and terminologies that I will never be able to unlearn, but I also found myself rolling in laughter.
A snuff house where snuff films were made, and people got… well, snuffed.
Said snuff house became haunted. (Of course it did!) A writer and his stepmother moved in. They both started to change.
Then, a paranormal investigating film crew came to this haunted snuff house. Everyone changed in different ways, but also, a design that tied the 3 stories together was revealed. The pigs… were more than pigs.
I did not expect the supernatural elements, but they worked. This was a riot! I loved every moment of it!

These three novellas take extreme fiction to the extreme both in sexual act and violence. Yeah, that is totally horrific, but not quite as horrific as the fact that everything done in these pages has been done or fantasized about by someone at sometime. We humans are not nice as we like to think we are and not only that but for some reason we find a release in reading things like this. The writing is good and there is a story of sorts that is told with humor. It gets old before the end of the third one but it is well worth the time if you are an extreme fiction lover.

I haven't read much by Lee, but these three novellas may just be the most revolting, vulgar and gruesome things I've read to date. If I had to pick a favorite out of the three, I'm going to have to go with Ouija Pig. I enjoyed the more prevalent supernatural events l element.
Not really a fan of when authors "break the fourth wall" which happens a lot in The Pig and Ouija Pig. Kind of throws me out of the story because I imagine the voice of the narrator from Dukes of Hazard. Found it a bit annoying. Didn't really notice that happening as much, or at all in The House.

This book has 3 stories averaging 150 each. The first one The Pig was I believe the most bizarre. Leonard is hired(in a way) to film bizarre beastiality acts in a mob safe house. The second called the house is about a rich young man going into the country (same house but 30 years later), with his mother in law who has a very rich taste in nudity and open sex life. The third called Ouiji Pig, 2 couples go to same house to summon the spirits of the house.

strangely very funny book, and edward lee's breaking the 4th wall
might be one of the most comedic things i've read in a horror novel.
that said it is pretty gruesome and disturbing... the three full stories within
are all connected but the last two do not feel as complete as the first,
that said still a very entertaining book

Decent book if you like extreme horror
Edward Lee is the Master of Extreme Horror. If you can handle sexual perversion, and sadistic gore, then this book is for you. Nothing is off limits.
