Gast

By: Edward Lee

Narrated by: Sean Walpole

Uncut version of Black Train

The railroad…and the house

No train has run on this railroad since the end of the Civil War—a railroad built by the servitude to perfect evil—and its trusted tracks run right behind the house. Justin Collier expects his respite in Gast, Tennessee, to be relaxing if not a bit dull, but he will find out soon enough that those same train tracks once led to a place worse than Hell.

Welcome to the Gast House

A historical bed and breakfast or a monument to the obscene? Collier doesn’t need to know the building’s rich history: women raped to death for sport, slaves beheaded and threshed into the soil, and pregnant teenagers buried alive. Who or what could mitigate such horrors over 150 years ago. And what is the atrocious connection between the old railroad and the house? Each room hides a new, revolting secret. At night, he can smell the mansion’s odors and hear it’s appalling whispers. Little girls giggle where there are no little girls, and out back, when Collier listens closely, he can hear the train’s whistle and see the things chained up in its clattering prison cars. Little does he know, the mansion and the railroad aren’t haunted by ghosts but an unspeakable carnality and a horror as palpable as excited human flesh.

Welcome to a place worse than hell….

Great story, but…

I used to live in this part of Tennessee. I don’t remember everyone having such thick Canadian accents.
Seriously though the narrator is great also , other than not remotely attempting to disguise his extremely Canadian accent. Which would be fine if it didn’t take place between civil war era and present day Chattanooga. He actually calls someone a “hose bag” at one point: as in “hoser”. Don’t let this stop you from buying it. The book is HOT! I just couldn’t resist making fun of the ridiculous accent. But it would have probably been worse if they attempted a Tennessee accent. Probably a blessing in disguise.

intense to say the least

as with the other books I have read by this author it is intense. keeps you thinking and guessing throughout the course of the story. basically a duel plot running side by side. lots of graphic sex included so know that going in.

Like a bad porno with a bit of gore.

If you're looking for the brutality and savage gore of "The Bighead" "The Television" or even "Monstrosity" this book is not for you. the sex scenes are abundant and illicit nothing but a roll of the eyes or at best a cringe. Hard to tell if the author was trying to write an extreme horror or a bad porno. like a lot of Edward Lee's work but how he writes women kinda adds to the stereotype that men can't write a woman without turning them into a piece of meat that the protagonist wants to use.

Missing the old Edward Lee.

So this story is an extreme version of the novel the Black Train. And regrettably I'm like what was the point of this story besides describing some really depraved sex acts and over the top slaughter? Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Lee, love Incubus, Succubus, Coven, and many of his mainstream and some from Never Publications, but this story goes no where. There isn't anything that made me care about the characters or become invested in the story. Sure had a few funny parts, but overall I wanted less extreme and just a strong story with some fleshed out characters. If the point was to be extreme he did it. It was okay with Bighead because you didn't need to flesh out that story. But this 9 hour audio book went no where and did nothing for me. Very disappointed, but it wasn't as bad as Witch Water which felt like a copy of this book. Same story and scenario. That book I stopped reading when the time travel started. I finished this book and just...sighed at my disappointment.
