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.

Once they lose their war slut (a transmorphing sex cyborg), the soldiers leave the safety of their camp in order to get it back. Only what they find out in the dark icy landscape is something far beyond what they ever could have imagined"--Page 4 of cover.

Book
Piecemeal June
by Jordan Krall
Kevin lives in a small apartment above a porn shop with his tarot-reading cat, Mithra. He has gotten used to Mithra bringing him things from outside: dead mice, Twinkie wrappers, donut scraps, houseplants, and the occasional rabbit head. But one day, Mithra brings him an ankle... a sweaty piece of rubber-latex shaped like a human ankle. Later, he is brought an eyeball, then a foot. After more latex body parts are brought upstairs, Kevin decides to glue them together to form a piecemeal sex doll. But once the last piece is glued into place, the sex doll comes to life. She says her name is June. She comes from another world and is on the run from an evil pornographer and three crab-human hybrid assassins. Piecemeal June is a reality-bending journey into love, sex, death, and a bizarre parallel world of butchered flesh.
Book
Tales from the Vinegar Wasteland
by Ray Fracalossy
Tales from the Vinegar Wasteland by Ray Fracalossy One part surrealist farce, one part psychotic hallucination. The story begins with a visit from a friend, Anton, who has been slowly losing his face. We meet Gregory, whose home now includes a non-existing room, and discover the joys of purchasing photographs of events that never happened. Somewhere, within the circle of life and death, isolation and romantic infatuation, where death and the afterlife are as confusing as day to day living and dreams are as real as reality, all of life's mysteries are solved. Including the discovery of who, or what God really is. Like a modern day Alice in Wonderland for adults."Wow...this is fucking rad...who is this writer...?"?kurt k. heasley, fountainhead of acid rock legends LILYS"Though Ray Fracalossy's work has an absurdist core reminiscent of the old school, it has a decidedly modern heart that makes you laugh and think at the same time."?Kevin Donihe, author of Shall We Gather at the Garden?, editor of Bare Bone, and author of Grape City?Ray Fracalossy's ability to seamlessly blur the line between the irreal and real has made him one of the defining writers of the new absurdist movement. He possesses something rarely found in art today, a unique voice. Tales... is a novel that will more than likely outlast us all.??polycarp kusch, author, school marm, cannibal & founder of both oBook.org and the new absurdist website Ray Fracalossy is a modern day absurdist and lover of the bizarre. He holds no degrees in writing (his fingers cramp, making gripping such documents difficult), and wishes he had more time to read. Born in New Jersey, a virtual mecca of the Absurd, he lives with his wife and son, and enjoys spending his free time with them, finding it gives him that warm fuzzy feeling without any of the messy over-the-counter side effects. He is currently working on a children's book, because someone has to open up and mess with their little minds. Any interested parties may contact him at rayfracalossy@yahoo.com for further info.
