Book
Fishy-fleshed
by Carlton Mellick
Fishy-fleshed is an illustrated collection of thought-logs from a child-like man living in the cartoonish future world of Ocean City, so technologically advanced that everyone possesses the ability to walk on water, cure diseases, clone food, and raise the dead . . . an entire civilization of Messiahs. When a team of researchers travel back in time to the days of the Real Messiah, they discover the past is a lot different than they imagined. It is an illogical flatland lacking in dimension and color, a sick-scape of crispy squid people wandering the desert for no apparent reason. Part science-fiction parody, part nightmarish absurdism, Fishy-fleshed is likely to leave a green-gray taste in your mouth. This volume includes both the English translation and the original Ywellish language text.

Book
The Troublesome Amputee
by John Edward Lawson
"I'm a big fan . . . and this is by far his best poetry collection to date. It's sometimes hilariously funny, sometimes deadly serious, but always morbid and thought-provoking. Any horror fan--even those who aren't into poetry--should check this one out." --Jeff Strand, author of "Pressure" and "Casket for Sale (Only Used Once)."

Book
Extinction Journals
by Jeremy Robert Johnson
"You can survive a nuclear blast. All you need is some luck, and maybe a customized business suit coated in cockroaches. It could work. At least that's what Dean believed before the bombs actually dropped and his suit led him to murder a very important man at the foot of a blackened obelisk. Now D.C. is looking awfully empty. Life on Earth is pretty much coming to an end. All of which leaves Dean with a single question-"What now?" The answer to that question will take him on an uncanny voyage across a newly nuclear America where he must confront the problems associated with loneliness, radiation, love, and an ever-evolving cockroach suit with a mind of its own. Dean's bizarre adventures mark the last chronicle of human existence, the final entries in our species' own ..."--Publisher description

Book
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
