Carlton Mellick III

    2. Juli 1977

    Carlton Mellick III ist eine führende Stimme der zeitgenössischen Underground-Literatur, der seinen einzigartigen Stil als "Avant-Punk" bezeichnet. Seine Werke präsentieren surreale Visionen der Gesellschaft und erdachter Zukünfte, die sich mit sozialen Absurditäten und Satire befassen, und das mit einer unverwechselbaren Mischung aus scharfem Witz und dunklem Humor. Mellick verbindet meisterhaft Elemente von trashiger Sci-Fi und Horror mit postmodernem literarischem Kunsthandwerk und schafft so eine wahrhaft originelle Stimme, die herausfordert und unterhält.

      There exists a race of cannibals who are made out of candy. They live in an underground world filled with lollipop forests and gumdrop goblins. During the day, while you are away at work, they come above ground and prowl our streets for food. Their prey: your children. They lure young boys and girls to them with their sweet scent and bright colorful candy coating, then rip them apart with razor sharp teeth and claws. When he was a child, Franklin Pierce witnessed the death of his siblings at the hands of a candy woman with pink cotton candy hair. Since that day, the candy people have become his obsession. He has spent his entire life trying to prove that they exist. And after discovering the entrance to the underground world of the candy people, Franklin finds himself venturing into their sugary domain. His mission: capture one of them and bring it back, dead or alive. Cannibals of Candyland is an erotic horror story for the bizarro reader. Dark, disturbing, and absurd; this isn't the board game version of candy land you used to play as a kid.

      Petey erinnert sich mit Grausen an die Werbung von Fruit Fun aus den 1980er-Jahren. Sie zeigte klumpige Cartoon-Kinder, die um einen Frühstückstisch herumsaßen und rosa Müsli aßen, das ihnen das Maskottchen Berry Bunny brachte. Als Petey seinen Freunden erzählt, wie gruselig die Figuren waren und dass er als Kind Albträume von ihnen bekam, verstehen sie nicht, was er meint. Niemand hat die Werbung je gesehen. Es gibt nicht einmal Informationen im Internet. Doch dann erscheint Berry Bunny erneut. Wieder wirbt sie im TV mit ihrer schrillen, bedrohlichen Stimme für Fruit Fun. Und jetzt wird Peteys Albtraum wahr: Mitsamt seinen Freunden wird er in die surreale Werbewelt hineingesaugt, die von fleischgewordenen Zeichentrickfiguren bevölkert ist. Eine absurde Horrorgeschichte vom König der Bizarro-Literatur. Irre genial.

      "Welcome to Grub Town, the most corrupt city in America. A place where gutter punk mermaids swim in sewage-filled canals, fairy prostitutes hang in birdcages on every street corner, and yakuza elves run everything behind the scenes. Eliot is the most beautiful fairy in all of the city with his dazzling emerald green butterfly wings that make everyone who sees them fall instantly in lust with him. But it's more of a curse than a blessing. Forced to hide his wings in public in order to avoid the constant sexual harassment, Eliot only finds solace when visiting his friends at the Snake Pit lamia strip club or getting tattooed by the dark and mysterious half-octopus woman named Oona. Oona is the best tattooist in the city, but she is a frightening woman three times Eliot's size with nine-foot tentacles that could choke a man to death in seconds. But despite this fact, Eliot is desperately in love with her. He's so infatuated with the octomaid that he gets new tattoos from her each and every week just to be closer to her, addicted to having her artwork permanently embedded into his skin. But when Eliot accidentally murders the only heir to the elf yakuza crime family in Oona's tattoo shop, they are forced to go on the run together, hoping to avoid the wrath of the most dangerous man in town. With everyone in the city out to get them, they can only rely on each other if they have any hope for survival"--Cover, page 4

      Little Benny isn't very good at taking tests. It's not that he's a stupid kid or doesn't pay attention in class. It's just that he's absolutely terrified of failure. It doesn't matter how hard he studies. He gets so nervous that he freezes up and his mind goes blank, rarely even answering a single question before the time is up. This is especially difficult now that he's in Mrs. Gustafson's fifth grade class, where the punishment for failure is to draw a curse from the bad box - a magical device that permanently mutates children into horrific monsters.
