Gast by Edward Lee, is one of the vilest, depraved, horrific and very well written story I read. I don’t know how he does that, but Edward Lee can makes me laugh at violent situations any sane person would probably cringe at, and he can make me feel totally relaxed and entertained while I read about evil nefarious acts. He’s very talented. One of the best Splatterpunk authors, in my opinion.
I highly recommend Gast, if you don’t have triggers.19 s Michael657 41

I loved The Black Train. I read it about 10 years ago. When I saw Gast The Uncut Version of The Black Train was be re -released I had to have it. This is still my favorite Lee novel.7 s Brandy Brusseau138 11

I always love reading books by Edward Lee and he never fails to gross me out. I did feel the ending was a little weak but overall a great book. 1 Liam28 2

This was my first Edward Lee novel and knowing his reputation as an extreme horror writer, I knew it would be particularly gruesome. The premise of the book drew me in before I opened it and once I did it had me hooked. An Evil past figure from the Civil War era tied in with a present day story of a TV celebrity visiting said town, equalled a riveting read.

The combination of horror, gore, the Civil War flashbacks and the explicit sexual content, produce a truly unique and at times uncomfortable read.

The flashbacks to The Civil War era and Mr Gasts plan are the real strength of the book and I have to say are the most harrowing. Mr Gasts railroad and it's true purpose produced one of the most horrific and disturbing sequences I think I've ever read.

Edward Lee has weaved quite a tale here, one in which the realities of violence and the sexual mind of humans is explored in an upfront and brutal way.1 Charlene (Char)307 13

Civil War , Sex ,Gore ,Violence

All I can say is wow. This book was a great read. I can tell Lee really did his research with the beer and civil war background. This book is about a small town that has a very sinister background behind one man named gast who was selected to build a railroad. Justin comes to town to write a book but becomes wrapped up in the house history. The story unfolds to a very violent and gruesome tale. Great book Lee !1 ChristopherAuthor 2 books104

Consider me a fan of the build up, but not the coming together of it. I also thought the flashbacks to Civil War times were far more interesting than the main story and should have been the center of the narrative. fiction1 Sharon Leung486 12

Great read

This book is packed full with drama and intrigue. It has you on the edge of your seat, gripped and enthralled by the twins history and residents. Brutal and and nail biting that has you fully immersed in the story. A great read and definitely recommend.1 Danny Welch1,024

Edward Lee is a master of the splatterpunk genre, this much is coming very obvious to me over time. His novels are filled to the brim with violence, gore, sex, and some of the most creative and visceral imagery I've ever seen written to paper, most of the time it's glorious, some of the time appallingly bad. But 9 times out of 10 success isn't bad. Gast (or The Black Train) is a novel I've been excited to read for a long time and now I'm finally giving it a go.

Justin Collier arrives at Gast to write a book dedicated to his career discussing about alcohol and he's here to try out the local town's brewery of fine, unique beer. But his being here will mean staying at Gast House. A long time ago, it was a house of great evil with a diabolical owner and a whore of a wife and their two children. Something dark and disturbing happened there many years ago, during the civil war and it all connects to the railroad they built, that's now torn up. Justin will find himself discovering the truth, but perhaps before he does the air of lust emanating in the house itself, might consume him beyond his wildest dreams or rather nightmares...

Gast is not only a haunted house story with spirits and disturbing imagery. It's a story filled to the brim with a fictional history surrounding the civil war and a fictional town. It's a demented novel with a terrific sense of atmosphere and characterization, whilst dealing with endless amounts of gore, disturbing flashbacks, and of course sex. It's a very heated novel that at points turned my stomach as well as terrified me. Flesh Gothic to me is more akin to the typical haunted house story we all love, but Gast on the other hand is something totally unique and I commend Lee for that.

Overall: Not entirely sure if this is my favorite but it's definitely in my top 3 now, such a brilliant and engaging haunted story with some really disturbing and at times realistic horror. Don't read this, if you have a weak stomach! 10/10edward-lee Matt Adams8

Civil War Horror

Some more of the same from Edward Lee. This man is an, Extreme Horror Genius!!! Again, this book is not for the squeamish. If you can’t handle explicit sex and gory horror, then this book is not for you. But this is the master of extreme horror, doing what he does best. Gary Mc26 2 Want to read

Really enjoyed this, some parts gave me chills when I read the Minotauress. I do think the end was a little weak but then the epilogue left it open and me wanting to read more. If you Lee's other work based in and around southern America then you should enjoy this too. Not quite the full on rednecks from Header, Creekers or Family traditions but no the less a great gross out ghost story. Jason 347 1 follower

Another Edward Lee

This book was good it had sex, violence, and dare I say a love story?
You do need a strong stomach for this book, it can be gross but if you have ever read Lee you already know that. I recommend to all fans of modern horror Peggy Whitney1 review

It's ok. the end just didn't seem much of a end. Christine60 4

It was a great book but I think the ending could have been a lot better. Teresa B.83 10
