Editorial Review:
A little bit of Hell has just come to earth.
Would you like to become someone else? Well, someone else is about to become you. He will share your heart and your mind, he will seep into your body, he will feel all your ecstacy...
And then he will take you on a slaughterfest.
Occult rites. Ritualistic murder.
You have become possessed.
But not by a ghost.
Not by a demon.
It's something much worse.
Just as God has a messenger, so does the devil, and that messenger is here, now, in your town. He has a message to send...
The Messenger.
A diabolical novel of ultimate erotic horror...

Rating:  - Another good one by Ed Lee
Once again Ed Lee mixes graphic horror with fairly hardcore erotica, and a story about postal workers (no joke) to come up with a pretty good book. This one is not up to the same level as his Infernal books, but it is still a good read if you are a fan of Lee or extreme horror.
I wasn't quite sold on the idea of postal workers going postal, but I bought the book anyways, because I am a fan of Lee. I was suprised at how good it turned out to be and tore through it pretty fast. It had ... Read More
Rating:  - Juvenile and sloppy
The combination of sex and violence presented here isn't anything new, and it fails to shock or disturb, clearly its intention. This is basically supermarket horror, made to be picked up off the rack on impulse. Just like an impromptu Twinkie purchase, this is easy to devour, but hardly satisfying, and certainly not good for you.
In the edition I have, as well, the text sports one glaring error per chapter, something that certainly draws you out of the already wafer-thin plot. The responsibility ... Read More
Rating:  - All gore, no story
Messenger has a very thin plot. A messenger of Satan is seducing postal workers in a small Florida town, getting them to graphically murder as many people as they can before killing themselves. It isn't so much a plot as a device for the author to write one violent, gory scene after another, all leading nowhere. I think he must have gotten paid by the number of times he wrote the word blood, bloody, blood-soaked, blood-covered, etc.
This is a bad novel. Violence and gore are no problem if they are ... Read More
Rating: - My messege...not this one.
I love Lee. I mean his stuff is just so much fun. When I finally gave him a chance and started reading his stuff I was hooked. Then I read Flesh Gothic and while good it just was not quite as good as the others I had read. I could not call what I felt disappointment but it was like a bump in the road. Then I read the Messenger. This is the worst I have read from Lee. It contained none of the fun of his other novels. Stay away from this one.
Rating:  - Lee Goes Postal
Well, it's about time that Edward Lee went postal! Although MESSENGER is considered "lesser Lee" but some of his fans, I found that it held up extremely well, a sharp, quick, hardknock novel that just runs full-throttle. A post office haunted by demonic forces that possess many of the employees is just such a superb idea, and Lee makes it wild, weird, and vicious as all get-out. A fast and furious read that will appeal to anyone who likes something seriously out of the norm and isn't afraid of a lot of hellish ... Read More
