Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Nov 2001
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.

Product Description

From the Publisher


"This generation's Vonnegut!" --Vincent W. Sakowski


"Carlton Mellick III has the craziest book titles... and the kinkiest fans!" - CHRISTOPHER MOORE, author of The Stupidest Angel


"Carlton Mellick III is one of bizarro fiction's most talented practitioners, a virtuoso of the surreal, science fictional tale." --Cory Doctorow


"Mellick's imagination is boundless, and his writing truly shows this. His characters, plot, and writing style are original, enjoyable, and inspiring." --Lionel Bigsby


"Mellick has definitely joined the ranks of the bizarre literary geniuses such as Burroughs, Philip K. Dick, and Vonnegut." --Charles Glover


"Easily the craziest, weirdest, strangest, funniest, most obscene writer in America." - GOTHIC MAGAZINE


"Carlton Melick III exemplifies the intelligence and wit that lurks between its lurid covers. In a genre where crude titles are an art in themselves, Mellick is a true artist." - THE GUARDIAN


"Just as Pop had Andy Warhol and Dada Tristan Tzara, the Bizarro movement has its very own P. T. Barnum-type practitioner. He's the mutton-chopped author of such books as Electric Jesus Corpse and The Menstruating Mall, the illustrator, editor, and instructor of all things Bizarro, and his name is Carlton Mellick III." - DETAILS MAGAZINE

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weird yes but so what? 30 Nov 2007
By Mr. P. C. French
Format:Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you've ever wanted and more 23 Aug 2005
By R. Duffy
Format:Paperback
This book is for anyone who has an even remote interest in science fiction, fantasy, punk rock, religion, horror films, the apocalypse, the future, canned food, lint accumulation, or anything else at all. Carlton Mellick (rising cult author gaining praise as the best and most representative author of this generation) creates a world unlike any other in this novel full of dark humor, intriguing ideas, boundless creativity, and, of course, a fast food restaraunt run by the Prince of Lies himself. You may not have realized it, but you have wanted to read a book this good your entire life. And to top off the experience, Mellick always includes a personal introduction to his novels, which gives the reader a feeling for the man behind the magic, so to speak. If you would like to spend your time immersed in a book that not only expands your idea of what creative fiction can be, but is also thorougly enjoyable, then this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the best bizarro book I've read in a long time. 28 Dec 2008
By Christopher Fraser
Format:Paperback
With this book, it's easy to see why Carlton Mellick III is heralded as the "high priest" of the Bizarro genre, and aside from the two editions of the Bizarro Starter Kit, this is the perfect book for those wanting to get into the scene. By turns fast-paced, witty and outright strange, those put off by the front cover image should really look beyond it (as it happens, it has nothing to do with the content inside). As for those who are enticed by the front cover... this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding 2 Feb 2006
By Adam Mills
Format:Paperback
Before I begin, I'd like to preface this article by saying Satan Burger was the first Carlton Mellick book I ever read, and since then I have been hooked.

The world has changed. The people are no longer entertained by it, and neither is God. He has grown bored of the human race, and so he's created the Walm, a giant vagina-like portal, out of which come strange, alien creatures.
But there are a few people left who don't just stare at the wall and shrug, who care about life. Meet Leaf, a drug deranged loser who could be the other son of God, the unwanted screw-up, and his equally weird friends, as they team up with the devil in the hope of finding their place in a broken world.

You can only begin to understand the surreal world from Mellick's brilliantly twisted mind seen through Leafs Acid Ocean Eyes; Satan Burger has an ending that will leave you in blissful awe. This is one of those select few books that will leave you both satisfied and begging for more, and will undoubtedly stay with you for your entire life.

To call Carlton Mellick III a genius would be like calling a blue whale "pretty big".

5.0 out of 5 stars for the love of leaf 22 Dec 2009
By Mr. M. D. F. Jones
Format:Paperback
i read this book for the first time about four years ago, when i ws eighteen. since then i have bought it five times, and passed it on to deserving friends along the way. this book has enough ideas in it for a writers lifetime, instead Carlton Mellick III crams them all into this powerful surrealist journey.

Mellick's incredibly engaging, and idiosyncatic manner of story telling is instantly engaging, you'll be viciously chewing through chapters, not only to follow the plot, but to see what other surprises are waiting for you. otherworldly creatures and customs, the living dead, baboon slapping, punk rock and one of my favourite main characters of all time.

this book is like a beautiful psychadelic experience, uplifting and euthoric, you will be changed by this journey. a revelations for the twenty first century.

4.0 out of 5 stars First time reading Carlton Mellick III - and definitely not the last! 13 Nov 2012
By Anna-Sofie
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I ordered this I really didn't knew what to expect. I had never heard about the "Bizarro"-genre before, and I came across this book by an coincidence. How lucky I was! I immediately got interested in the genre, and bought the book right away! I haven't read it all yet, but already by now, I can tell how fantastic, entertaining and extraordinary this is! And not to mention the great cover-art. I'm from Denmark, so in the beginning I was a little worried if it was too difficult to read, since it's only released in English, and it isn't hard at all, and I can read it without problems!
I can highly recommend Satans Burger, and I can't wait to buy and read the rest of Carlton Mellick IIIs books!
