About this ebook
In this novel of Eldritch horror and gourmet cooking, the authors whet your appetite with a delectable trip to the Pacific Northwest in search of the rare Crackjaw Eel. This romp through the woods is flavored with inbred rednecks, sauced with generous helpings of sex and topped with an ending that’s sure to have food critics raving the world over. Only those with strong stomachs and a taste for heavy spice should attempt this meal.
In Family Tradition, Lee and Pelan show that there are far more terrible things lurking in the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest than amphetamine-crazed rednecks... secrets man was not meant to sample. It’s Kitchen Confidential written by Jeffrey Dahmer on acid, with just a touch of Lovecraftian flavor and a hint of gritty realism to satisfy even the most discriminating palate.
Indulge yourself and enjoy the sumptuous haute cuisine served up by these two masters of guerilla gastronomic outrage. Not only will you think twice before visiting the woods again, you just might never looks at the Food Network in quite the same way...
From the duo that brought you Goon, Shifters, and the cult favorite Splatterspunk, Family Tradition is a feast of the senses that is best devoured before it devours you.
Enjoy the grub!

Reviews for Family Tradition
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Es sollte eigentlich ein netter Ausflug werden, bei dem der berühmte Fernsehkoch Ashton Morrone eine Menge hochwertiger Muschelknacker-Aale fangen und sich so die Bestplazierung in allen gängigen Medien der Kochbranche sichern wollte.Ein idyllischer See irgendwo im Nirgendwo. Alles läuft wie am Schnürchen, doch dann wird es Nacht und die Hölle bricht los. Denn die beiden einzigen Bewohner der Insel haben ein dunkles Geheimnis.Enoch und Esau leben schon ewig nur auf diesem Flecken Land. Ihr größtes Vergnügen ist dabei das Quälen, Vergewaltigen und Zubereiten von menschlichen Wesen, die ihnen mehr oder weniger zufällig begegnen.Und in dieser Nacht gibt es ein wahres Festmahl an Menschen, die sich auf ihre Insel verirrt haben.Edward Lee ist der Meister des Perversen und der ausufernden Sexszenen. Dem Namen wird er in diesem Buch mehr als gerecht. In Zusammenarbeit mit John Pelan treibt er den Leser bis zur Grenze des Geschmackvollen und darüber hinaus. Es ergießt sich eine wahre Orgie aus Gewalt und Sex. Dinge werden beschrieben, die sich ein normales Gehirn nicht einmal vorzustellen wagt. Dabei rauscht die Geschichte nur vor sich hin, eine Gewalttat jagt die nächste.Es ist abartig, es ist ekelerregend, gewaltverherrlichend und brutal. Genau das, was man von einem Extrem-Band erhofft.Wer zu einem solchen Buch greift, sollte wissen, was ihn erwartet. Oder es zumindest akzeptiert haben.Hier bekommt man keine Geschichte mit Tiefgang oder vielschichtige Charakterbeschreibungen, denn die Menschen sind nur Statisten, die der Geschichte helfen, sich von (Gewalt-)Akt zu (Gewalt-)Akt zu schwingen.Dieses Buch ist nichts für schwache Nerven und einen empfindlichen Magen. Edward Lee beweist hier einmal wieder seinen Hang zum Perversen und FESTA einen guten Riecher für das Extreme.Der Muschelknacker ist wirklich harte Kost.Ich mochte es, denn aus keinem anderen Grund kaufe ich diese Bände: um mich an meine Grenzen zu treiben. Und genau das erwarte ich von einem Extrem-Band.
