The Bighead is a horror novel by writer Edward Lee, released in 1997. It concerns "The Bighead" a mentally challenged, inbred psychopath suffering hydrocephalus raging out in the Virginia backwoods, raping and killing whatever comes his way, and a sex-and-drug addicted rebel named Jerrica. The book is noted for being one of the most graphic and disturbing horror novels ever penned, and has often been called the grossest book ever written,
