Not Quite One of the Boys
by Vincent W. Sakowski
One character dies, one is left for dead, and the third is kidnapped. And that's just the first chapter of this dark comedy. Sit back with Time, and watch as God and Satan gamble over everyone, following the misadventures of a couple of drug dealers. Add in a cop who has delusions of being the superhero Napkin Man, and his wife, a sexaholic junkie, a splash of Dante for a taste of not so classic literature, and you may get some idea of what this religious satire has in store for you. Strap yourself in baby-waby for some Blender Fiction at its finest. Vincent W. Sakowski is the author of the anti-epic novel of the surreal: Some Things Are Better Left Unplugged, and the short fiction collection: Misadventures in a Thumbnail Universe. Vincent lives and writes in Saskatoon, SK, Canada, where he was born and raised. "Vincent W. Sakowski is perhaps the most subversive of all the Bizarro writers working today. He knows how to write a traditional story that pulls you in all the while he's been slowly twisting it inside-out... and you find yourself in a wholly strange place, stunned and awe-struck. He's a literary acrobat, crafting smart surrealist fiction that stands on its head and spins plates from its feet, producing a captivating carnival of the mind unlike any of the other gonzo writers in his field and he truly deserves your attention. His work is unforgettable-and sometimes sicker than the sickest-and everyone who loves the surreal should be reading him right now, before he undoes the fabric of the universe and pulls you inside-out right along with it." -Michael Arnzen, author of Play Dead "With one single book Vincent W. Sakowski has completely reinvented the Christian mythology, infusing it with humor and a healthy does of blasphemy. Progressive satire of this type is a rare find and a pleasure to read, from beginning to end. The echoes of its intelligence stick with you long after the final page. If you want to know what Bizarro literature is all about look no further, because Sakowski is the real deal." -John Edward Lawson, author of Pocket Full of Loose Razorblades Cover art by Carrie Ann Baade

The Haunted Vagina
by Carlton Mellick
Steve is madly in love with his eccentric girlfriend, Stacy. Unfortunately, their sex life has been suffering as of late, because Steve is worried about the odd noises that have been coming from Stacy's pubic region. She says that her vagina is haunted. She doesn't think it's that big of a deal. Steve, on the other hand, completely disagrees. When a living corpse climbs out of her during an awkward night of sex, Stacy learns that her vagina is actually a doorway to another world. She persuades Steve to climb inside of her to explore this strange new place. But once inside, Steve finds it difficult to return... especially once he meets an oddly attractive woman named Fig, who lives within the lonely haunted world between Stacy's legs.

Survivor
by Chuck Palahniuk
From the author of the cult sensation Fight Club (now a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter) comes Survivor. "A turbo-charged, deliciously manic satire of contemporary American life." --"Newsday "The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage," according to the "been there, done that" wisdom of Tender Branson, last surviving member of the Creedish Death Cult. At the opening of Chuck Palahniuk's hilariously unnerving second novel, Tender is cruising on autopilot, 39,000 feet up, dictating the whole of his life story into Flight 2039's "black box" in the final moments before crashing into the vast Australian outback. Not since Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night has there been as dark and telling a satire on the wages of fame and the bedrock lunacy of the modern world. Wickedly incisive and mesmerizing, Survivor is Chuck Palahniuk at his deadpan peak.

Lullaby
by Chuck Palahniuk
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the New York Times bestseller Choke and the cult classic Fight Club, a cunningly plotted novel about the ultimate verbal weapon, one that reinvents the apocalyptic thriller for our times. "A harrowing and hilarious glimpse into the future of civilization.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune Ever heard of a culling song? It’s a lullaby sung in Africa to give a painless death to the old or infirm. The lyrics of a culling song kill, whether spoken or even just thought. You can find one on page 27 of Poems and Rhymes from Around the World, an anthology that is sitting on the shelves of libraries across the country, waiting to be picked up by unsuspecting readers. Reporter Carl Streator discovers the song’s lethal nature while researching Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and before he knows it, he’s reciting the poem to anyone who bothers him. As the body count rises, Streator glimpses the potential catastrophe if someone truly malicious finds out about the song. The only answer is to find and destroy every copy of the book in the country. Accompanied by a shady real-estate agent, her Wiccan assistant, and the assistant’s truly annoying ecoterrorist boyfriend, Streator begins a desperate cross-country quest to put the culling song to rest.
