Product Description

Product Description

Step into a dark and absurd where human beings are slaves to corporations, people are photocopied instead of born, and the baby jesus is a very popular anal probe.

From the Back Cover


"Trashy and dark." --3:AM MAGAZINE


"What's most bizarre is that none of this seems to be there for pure shock value....Presented in such a matter of fact manner that it is as if the last thing the author wants is for you to be shocked..." --WRATH JAMES WHITE on Razor Wire Pubic Hair


"This strange, bleak, and utterly weird tale has everything you would expect from the master...psuedo-horror, sci-fi, twisted religion, and dark satire." --KEVIN WOODS, co-creator of Wiseguys vs. Zombies


"Through childlike narration Mr. Mellick can present to his reader some of the most curious and knee-slapingly hysterical blaspheme." --IAN DAVID MCGOWEN


"Reading Carlton Mellick III's BABY JESUS BUTT PLUG is like hopping into an LSD-filled time machine with David Cronenberg, William Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, Philip K. Dick, and George Romero at the controls. This tale of office drones and disposable clones is a splatterpunk odyssey, a cautionary tale of corporate omnipotence, and a possible blueprint of the future of the nuclear family. Touching, poignant, horrorific, nightmarish, and beautiful all at the same time, BABY JESUS BUTT PLUG is the work of an uncompromising visionary who lances the boil of his seething imagination with the tip of his pen..." --TRENT HAAGA, star of Terror Firmer, Troma's Edge TV, and co-writer of Citizen Toxie


"There is depth behind his simplistic prose, and humor all around it. What at first seems unsophisticated quickly becomes a firm identity to the characters, and you realize the intelligence behind the naivety." --SCHTINKY REVIEWS


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


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


"Bizarre, twisted, and emotionally raw--Carlton Mellick's fiction is the literary equivalent of putting your brain in a blender." - BRIAN KEENE, author of The Rising and Dead Sea


"Carlton Mellick III is one of bizarro fiction's most talented practitioners, a virtuoso of the surreal, science fictional tale." - CORY DOCTOROW, author of Little Brother


"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

Format:Paperback
"The Baby Jesus Butt-Plug." You might think the title says it all, but only because you haven't read this fascinating novella by Carlton Mellick, the Avant-Punk Master. This book has it all: social satire, zombies, butt plugs not only in the form of Baby Jesus, but John Lennon and other famous people as well. Children run the world. People can make copies of themselves and be several places at once, which would have made Philip K. Dick proud.

A couple purchases the "title character" from a woman who warns them not to use him as such. They, needless to say, ignore her advise. Chaos ensues. Confusion prevails. You have to read it to believe it. This is the first Mellick book I picked up, but I've read them all since then. It is a good place to start, and it isn't nearly as offensive as the title suggests. Or maybe it is. You decide.

Format:Paperback
This relatively short and oh so sweet story by Carlton Mellick is much more than just shock-rock in literary form, as many people may be led to believe from the title. It is set up almost as a children's story, with large print and lots of interesting illustrations. It's a story about the future of society and the structure and interaction of family, full of heaping helpings of taboo smashing sex, violence, and humor. Between litters of John Lennon clones, zombies, and childish CEO's that happen to be hundreds of years old, there's something for everyone. It's an easy read, but in the very best way. The fairly simple illustrations complement the story nicely, and you'll find that after you've finished the story the first time you'll have an urge to begin it again almost immediately. So pick this up, it's more than worth the price, and I promise you will be very pleased.

Format:Paperback
This story by Carlton Mellick is a quick read, but that isn't a bad thing. It's in the format of a book for young readers, with very large print and lots of pictures. The story is incredibly strange, but simple enough so that you don't get confused. Some may find it offensive (if you couldn't tell from the title) but Mellick never writes simply to offend or shock. He always writes with a sense of humor, and a complete lack of judgement. His stories just always lean towards the bizarre, and the bizarre often involves many tabboo breaking ideas. This being said, however, this story definitely deserves attention. If you can't make yourself spend the money on such a short book, I recommend you read some of the author's other works, such as "Satan Burger" or "Fishy-Fleshed", and then come back to this one. You will definitely find it worthwhile then.
