[who did it] Necro Publications; April, 1997 (signed limited-edition 100 hardcovers/ 400 tradepaperbacks).

[chance of gettin'] This is a very difficult book to find. However, not impossible. Expect to pay a good amount of scratch for either edition, especially the hardcover.

[the skinny] Lee’s magnum opus of indulgent gratuitous sex and violence--the B-Movie Monster In The Woods has never gone this far, splatterporn either at its best or most irredeemable--you decide. The Necro 1st-edition h/c (only 100 copies in existence) remains a big-ticket item in the collector’s market, while the remaining 400 trade-paperbacks fetch a tidy sum too. There’s enough hardcore sex here to make the complete filmography of Christy Canyon look PG-rated, and enough scatological violence to make Ivan the Terrible’s torture ministers throw up. A sex-addict bimbo, a Catholic priest with a foul mouth, and a frigid protagonist who needs some lovin’ in a bad way all get their comeuppance in this cult extravaganza in which Lee took the social persona of CREEKERS and brought it to a pinnacle that best demonstrates his mastery of “Redneck Horror.” The blood-drenched antics of his backwoods bad guys Tritt “Balls” Conner and Dicky Caudill are regularly imitated but have never been topped. Not many books can boast a double urinary catheterization AND coital congress with a colostomic egress. With a first line of “She stove the baby’s head in with a cast iron skillet; it burst like a pale, ripe fruit,” you know you won’t be confusing this with THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY. Little-known fact: THE BIGHEAD contains a scene that Lee’s editor at Zebra originally deleted from CREEKERS, the “Kohl’s Point” scene.
