GOING MONSTERING is Brand new full length novel by the master of twisted dark fiction Edward Lee!

WHERE ARE WE GOING TONIGHT?
Behind the facade of the sedate sorority house, unutterable horrors seethe while tumid desires rise. All the while, Ann White must become pervert-fodder if she hopes to pass Pledge Week. All too soon, she finds that no act of lewdness is deemed too demeaning, no manner of sexual degradation too foul.

For there is a secret festering in the bowels of Alpha House, an ancient carnal evil whose stygian lust is too hideous to imagine and still stay sane. As Ann literally dips herself into a cesspool of soul-soiling immorality, the black revelation throbs closer and closer…

WHERE ARE WE GOING TONIGHT?
Poor Ann will be slopped on, spewed in, spat upon, penetrated, humped, poked, humiliated, bitch-slapped, gang-sodomized, plungered like a toilet, filled like a decanter, and debased en masse–indeed, she will willingly go through a wringer of sexual depravity to prove her resolve, but along the way, as she converts herself into this veritable receptacle of sullied lust, will she live long enough to unveil the true secret of Alpha House?

TONIGHT, WE’RE GOING MONSTERING.
An unrelenting and irredeemable novel of gore-house porn and unmitigated black comedic horror.

This is a signed limited edition hardcover, fully illustrated by Tom Moran. Only 300 hand signed and numbered copies will be published of this edition.
