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'.

Amazingly gross
I had read Zola a while back, but when DE said that it was coming to audio and Lila Kerry was narrating it I knew I had to give it a listen.
Lila does such an amazing job bringing the characters to life. I feel like listening to this story made it more vivid than when I read it. Absolutely loved it!

Part of the extreme horror gauntlet
My second visit with the first book. The first time I read it. After seeing that Lila Kerry was narrating the audiobook, I decided I must listen to it. The first time I read it, the book was shocking and incredibly gross. I often said to myself, “There are things mentioned that no human should say aloud.” Now you can hear the talented Lila Kerry say those things, and she makes them so much more disgusting. You can smell and taste everything in this audiobook, and it is an unpleasant (or pleasant depending on your perspective) experience and will caution those who are squeamish but rally up those who are wanting an extreme horror gross-out fest. I’m sure the people surrounding me in traffic got a nice show watching my facial expressions and gagging motions.
Let's move on to the story. It’s a story about a boy, Gordon, who has abusive parents. His father is physically, mentally, and even s***lly abusive. His mother is abusive in a way where she is overbearing, smothering, sheltering, and mentally abusive. As you can imagine, Gordon doesn’t turn out to be normal and is fascinated with his body as well as his mother’s. Lila Kerry pulled off an amazing performance (as she always does) with all the voices, including the little boy and young adult versions of Gordon. It’s a gross and gruesome tale and will be a story that will be read by many for years to come.
I’m going to invoke some gatekeeping and say, “Reading Zola is part of the gauntlet you must run in order to be called an extreme horror reader.”

Narration brings more emotion to the story
I read this book and was utterly disgusted. Listening to the audio I felt the mother’s anguish more. It gave the story more depth and sadness that i didn’t pick up on when i read it. The narrator did an amazing job giving new wind to this gore fest. I now have Gordon cakes stuck in my head all over again and I’m repulsed but would 100% listen to this again and again.

Top Tier Gross!!
I absolutely adore this book! It disgusting, silly, and cheesy. Nothing I've read so far has come close to grossing me out as much as this does. You'll keep thinking "Wow, that was rough, that must've been the worst of it" but Mcckluskey outdoes himself every chapter. What starts out as a sad story of abuse turns into a stomach churning ode to cheese.
Hearing it read aloud gave it a whole new dimension. Lila Kerry's performance was completely perfect, I found it hilarious to hear such filth being described in lighthearted, upbeat, curious and let's be honest: sexy tones. She made bodily fluids, desecration and bugs sound as if she were describing a picnic in a park with a puppy. She's engaged in the story. You can hear her smiling when the characters smile, and groan when they do.

Deeper than just Cheese
Wow Just Wow!!!! I can tell the narrator is a momma by the way she expressed herself when the momma found out about Gordon. I'm not going to lie, she made it seem so real ! I could tell the narrator was holding back anger for Gordon in chapter 3 and 4 and I love that! When I read Zola on my own I didn't enjoy it as much as I am now. Hearing someone else tell the story I read already makes it 10x better!! I'm over here cheering, clapping, crying, yelling all in one chapter! ….. Okay I'm in the last chapter and I'm balling my eyes out at work. STANDING F**KING OVATION !!!!! I connected with Gordan in so many ways except the extreme parts of course , the love a child has towards his mother is so strong, stronger than Gordons cheesecakes. Thank you DE McCluskey for this amazing masterpiece and Lila Kerry for holding it together, what an amazing narration!!! By the way this book is not for the weak.

A Wild Ride
This book was so cheesy! but in the most brutal way, I enjoyed the read and the narrator was fantastic! This is an extreme book for sure, even when nothing faces me. It was told so well and there was plenty of wth moments that just floors the reader. I was cracking up at the narrator's chewing sounds, it definitely placed it in a whole new level! Can't wait to explore more books like this!

Excellent Narration!
This book is very well known in the horror community, however, I went in blind. I didn't think anything could really gross me out, but this was the exception. This book was so vile and nasty. The narration of this book was excellent! She described everything with so much detail, that I could smell every smell and imagine what things tasted like. It left me with such a rotten taste in my mouth. Even though I don't want to read anything like this ever again, Lila Kerry was AMAZING!

Incredibly done.
Zola, where do we begin. I first heard about this book through a horror group on FB. I went in blind & I was disturbed in the most beautiful way. This is my second time with this book because when I heard there was an audio coming, I knew I needed to hear it out loud. The narrator did a PHENOMENAL job bringing the story of how a mother will do anything and cross any boundary to protect her son to life and you’ll never see cheese the same way again 😊 if you like extreme horror, this is for you. Buckle up.
