When Edward Lee and John Pelan put there minds together on a collaboration, the reader is always treated to a genuinely disgusting and entertaining piece of fiction.

Straker isn't a wrestling fan, but when raped and mutilated bodies of female wrestling groupies start popping up throughout the area, Captain Philip Straker must go undercover to track down the killer with the beautiful reporter and wrestling fan, Melinda Pierce as his guide. As Straker and Pierce play their roles as groupies perfectly, they delve deep into the wrestling world as the body count rises and word is caught that the perpetrator happens to be a wrestler. Goon is a giant: standing six foot nine inches and weighing in at four hundred pounds, he is a monster whose path you wouldn't want to cross, in or out of the ring.

Within a dank storage unit, Captain Straker confronts Goon in an ill-fated attempt to subdue the beast. All looks grim until the intrusion of Melinda Pierce. But Melinda Pierce has a surprise of her own and that will change Captain Straker's life forever, a twist that will leave the reader in awe.

Goon is a humorous journey into the dark imagination of two masters of repulsive horror: Edward Lee and John Pelan. This book is to be read slowly and aloud, every word savored as if it were your last. The imagery produced will sicken, amuse, and invigorate the reader, leaving mental tattoos that will never fade.
