Product Description

God hates you. All of you. He closed the gates of Heaven and
wants you to rot on Earth forever. Not only that, he is repossesing your
souls and feeding them to a large vagina-like machine called the Walm - an
interdimensional doorway that brings His New Children into the world. He
loves these new children, but He doesn't love you. They are more
interesting than you. They are beautiful, psychotic, magical, sex-crazed,
and deadly. They are turning your cities into apocalyptic chaos, and
there's nothing you can do about it ...

Featuring: a narrator who sees his body from a third-person perspective, a
man whose flesh is dead but his body parts are alive and running amok, an
overweight messiah, the personal life of the Grim Reaper, lots of classy
sex and violence, and a motley group of squatter punks that team up with
the devil to find their place in a world that doesn't want them anymore.

About the Author
Carlton Mellick III is one of the leading authors in the new
BIZARRO genre uprising. In only a few short years, his surreal
counterculture novels have drawn an international cult following despite
the fact that they have been shunned by most libraries and corporate
bookstores. Though frequently compared to David Lynch, Kurt Vonnegut, and
even Lloyd Kaufman, Carlton Mellick III is unlike anyone you've experienced
before. He sings for the band "Popes That Are Porn Stars" in Portland, OR.

Customer Reviews

Weird yes but so what?
This started as an interesting read and ended a bitter disappointment.Basically it screams " how weird am I?". Answer:A little but you can't tell a decent story.Sorry to burst the bizarro bubble but a strong narrative and decent characterisation will always sort the men from the boys.

Awesome - best read of 2007
I enjoyed this book as much as the Dice Man and American Psycho. I will read more from this author.

Eat at Satan Burger!
An oddly assorted group of people living in a large house get a new tenant... Satan, who plans to open a restaurant. The fun starts here and never lets up. Heaven shuts down and the dead have no place to go. Plenty of great sex and violence, some great imagery, and a story line that gets stranger with every page. And I agree, the "Battlestar Galactica" original show had more than just a good theme song! Or did it?

This is one of Mellick's first books. It is well developed and very interesting. He has since written many more in a very short period, including "Punk Land," the sequel to this book.
