About this listen

Gordon's name was a joke.

It was given to him by Anthony Zola, a controlling, and abusive father, to taunt his wife over her love of cheese, and the fact that she had been steadily gaining weight since their marriage.

Andrea was a doting mother, and maybe a little overprotective of her boy, but she didn't see that as a bad thing.

On discovering a secret, one the child had been told to keep to himself, everything changes. Now she must do whatever she needs to keep her, and her boy, alive.

Needs must.

Gordon is going to find that his love of cheese, handed down to him by his mother, and his love for the only woman in his life, is about to be taken to a whole new level.

From the dark mind of D E McCluskey, author of The Twelve, CRACK, and Cravings, Comes another addition to his 'Extreme Horror Series'.

I thought the book was bad enough but the narrator really brings it to life. I nearly threw up in the bath. I've never looked at cheese the same way again but now I've heard it I feel a lot more empathy with poor Gordon. I recommend this so much

Not for the weak

What the fuck.. did I just read!?

My senses have never felt so violated 😅 This book was absolutely DISGUSTING. I have a very strong stomach and rarely am affected by descriptions of this kind of filth but this was taken up way too many notches 😆

Imagine reading about some of the worst smells you can think of.. then add them all together and think of someone eating it... done it? Now you know how I feel. You're welcome!

Gross depravity aside, it was well written, and I loved the story. Trauma, a mother's love and shit marinated thigh meat.. so heartwarming ❤️😂

Loved it!

Lovely and gross 😆

The legendary Zola...Although it has the reputation as the funny cheese book, there is an underlying tragedy to its story which is rarely acknowledged. The first act has some truly harrowing scenes, and it only gets worse from there.

The audiobook version is narrated by Lila Kerry and it is an excellent performance, really emphasising the heartbreaking sadness and desperation.

And then there is the star of the show, the gimmick, the unique selling point: the cheese.

As with most books in the genre, this isn't for anybody who takes themselves too seriously or demands high literature from their extreme horror...but if you want a unique gross-out novella so disgusting that it becomes a full-on sensory experience, Zola is one of a kind.

A nauseating modern classic finally gets an audiobook!

Gordon hasn't had a good start to his life but it gets better before it gets worse! He's a turophile, a cannibal and soon to be necrophile! (Though he doesn't ever know it himself!) A victim of paedophiles this is an adventure not for the faint of heart! There isn't much off the table in this book. Scat and jizz you will have to listen to know why! This was originally my first book of Dave's I read and I've read them all now. So when he said do you want a copy of this audiobook I was like defo!! Lila brings this sickening story to life and I thoroughly enjoyed her narration. Not sure how she felt about telling the story now that would be interesting. It's a top book total marmite love it or you're going to absolutely hate it and there is a lot of hate (Though for some reason the haters read it all!) Anyway wait for Gordon to become a master chef and for you to never think about cheese in the same way again, oh and just to throw something else in..... your salmon eating days will be over. BRILLIANT STUFF.

Turophile ... nothing is off the table!!
