In "A Feast Unknown," Philip José Farmer masterfully blends elements of pulp fiction, erotica, and horror in a controversial and explicit narrative that pushes the boundaries of genre fiction. Set within Farmer's Wold Newton Universe, the story features thinly veiled versions of iconic characters—Tarzan and Doc Savage—transformed into Lord Grandrith and Doc Caliban. These half-brothers, both sons of the infamous Jack the Ripper, possess near-immortal powers granted by a mysterious elixir, which ties their sexual pleasure to acts of extreme violence.
As they navigate their turbulent existence, battling both internal demons and external foes, they are manipulated by a shadowy group known as The Nine. This secret society's machinations force Grandrith and Caliban into a deadly confrontation, where survival means confronting their deepest, darkest desires.
"A Feast Unknown" is a daring exploration of the intersection between sex and violence, challenging the reader with its provocative content and complex characters. This novel is not for the faint of heart, but for those with a taste for the unconventional and a willingness to delve into the darker aspects of human nature, it offers a unique and unforgettable experience.
