Product Description
Product Description
You're on the run from the cops and need a place to disappear somehow. Luckily you happen across a secret ocean in the middle of Wyoming. An undiscovered world of zombies and pirates that, according to maps, couldn't possibly exist. But here it is, a vast white sea that is made of some kind of greasy blubber substance instead of water.

Format:Paperback
"Ocean of Lard" is a parody of the Choose Your Own Adventure/Destiny books we read when we were young. Over the top writers Carlton Mellick and Kevin Donihe team up to provide various different trails you can take to various different endings.
A man on the run from the cops finds a secret ocean of lard and has to join up with pirates in order to get away. This book pulls out all of the stops... There are bugs and pickle/monkey things, zombies, cyborg dominatrix, and much more! "The Eye World" is Mellick's story. "The Rotten Sore" is Donihe's. Illustrated by Terrasa Ulm.
Mellick's style is in full force here, and he finds various new and original ideas to explore with every segment of the book. Donihe is also a very good writer. This is the first book by him I've read, but I will definitely keep an eye out for him in the future. If only this were the beginning of a continuing series...

If you have ever read a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book, then you have to buy this right now! If you haven't, go check one out at your local library, read it, and then buy this! It is an outrageously ridiculously hilarious parody of that classic genre that lets you make key choices for the main character in the story. Author Carlton Mellick the 3rd will have you sore from laughing at the ridiculous turns the story takes, and the illustrations are great too. This should be mandatory reading for anyone who ever read or heard of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories as a child. Buy this right now, and I promise you you will be thanking me later!

This book instantly took me back to those choose your own adventure books R L Stine used to write. The goosebumps books were pretty weird, but they've got nothing on this one.
This book features choices that end in sex, death, treasure, and sometimes all three! And then there are the telepathic floating walrus heads.
Written by Carlton Mellick and Kevin L. Donihe, the co-habitting guardians of Bizarro fiction, this book is crammed with mind bending scenarios and hilarious and unexpected twists that meld into one another. You can read this book again and again, and get a different story each time.
As my grandmother from the old country used to say: a story with one beginning, and many endings, is freakin' awesome! And this book, parody as it may be, is the unequivocal best of the CYOA genre. If you like things that are awesome, read this book!
