Portrait of the Psychopath as a Young Woman by Edward Lee, Elizabeth Steffen
4.0
I wasn’t sure what to really expect with this one, as I’d heard some reliable sources mention that it was a “toned down Lee”. I’d never heard of such a thing, and had to see what it was all about for myself.
I’m glad I did.
A “toned down Lee” just happens to make the story/gore/horror even more real than usual. No Bighead, or Balls, or Micah, or Satan. Nothing like that. This tale is totally believable, and it hits like a ton of bricks.
I dug the use of the legal terminology and jargon/lingo that the author(s) used, the name brands of actual surgical implements and tools, it was a nice finishing touch to have everything “official”.
And of course, a few nods to other books/stories that Mr. Lee has blessed us with. I love finding the easter eggs, the more of his books I read, the more they interact with each other. It’s fucking awesome.
And of course, how can you go wrong with brutal psychopathic horror? You can’t!
