The recent discussion of Farmer's "A Feast Unknown" prompts me to throw
in my two bits.

To the best of my knowledge, Farmer has three books out which present a
unique perspective.  "Image of the Beast" is actually two stories in one
(at least my copy is).  "A Feast Unknown" and a second book with the same
characters, either a prequel or a sequel, but the name eludes me.

These stories are not the kind of books you want your child to read.  They
can easily be classified as trash, garbage, total gross-out, whatever you
like.  I prefer unique.

If you are a Tarzan, are Doc Savage fan, the latter two books present a
very unsavory presentation of the heroes.  I would recommend NOT reading
them (the latter two books mentioned above).
