review 1: Header is a story of depravity set in Russell County, centred on the hill folk or rednecks of Kentucky and the actions of family revenge going back decades.Travis Tuckton finishes a lengthy prison sentence and returns home, there’s not much of his family left and the only place left to turn is his Grandpappy and his dilapidated cabin. Two more insanely immoral characters you will not come across again as they reminisce over the past and embark on a campaign of vengeance for all the slights done to their family over the years.The story also follows federal cop Stew Cummings, whose sick girlfriends medical bills force him to turn against the law but he starts investigating a series of murders where bodies are dumped in the local area victims of a Header. Cummings & the red... morenecks are destined to meet and it’s not going to be pretty.What’s a Header – seriously you don’t want to know, sick, twisted, yes definitely. Repulsive, disgusting, there’s loads of words of similar ilk to describe the goings on in this novella but Lee captures the atmosphere, the setting and the almost hypnotic characters perfectly, the dialect adds to the mix to create an absorbing read but it’s not for everyone, in fact unless you like the sicker side of horror give this a miss.A 3.5 Rating
review 2: Very fun and entertaining "quickie" read by the master of splatterpunk. I honestly did not see the meaning of the title "Header" coming...and when the event actually took place, it was so over the top and grotesque I just started laughing (this is a compliment to Lee's wonderfully dark sense of humor)Perhaps I'm just a desensitized sicko, but I found this novella more amusing than chilling. Great ending as well. Not for everyone as any true horror fan will tell you, Edward Lee's fiction is not for the faint of heart...but for those brave souls who possess a cast iron stomach and a twisted sense of humor, Header is a fast and entertaining "redneck horror/comedy" read that shouldn't take one too long to finish.WHOO EEE Granpappy! That there was one hell of a read I tell you what. less
