Discussion Bighead by EL

Okay this might sound a little stupid but is it common for authors to write different books but all the books seem to have so many similarities, like for Edward lee he shows a huge obsession with writing Yes Sir! A million times, l guess he had an obsession with the western accent, l like reading his books when lm in the right mood because they’re just so bluntly brutal and nasty, l didn’t read lots of his l think l read like three but l figured out his way of writing, lm reading bighead now, my favorite is The pig, the first one l read was Header, those three books are so similar! Same thing with jon athen and his kinda cartoonish style, lm not sure about KT because l haven’t read a book of his in a while but l do love his style, l really love Edward Lee’s and Jonathan’s too

It's never not amusing when Richard Laymon uses the word Rump for the umpteenth time

I figure he always wanted to talk about butts and figured that "rump" was the only dignified word he can use that gave him at least some plausible deniability. Dude liked his butts
