Summary
"For fans of zombie fiction, this is an absolute MUST
FUCKING READ!" -
JEFF BURK, author of
Shatnerquake
Twenty people wake to find themselves in a boarded-up
building in the middle of the zombie wasteland. They soon
discover they have been chosen as contestants on a popular
reality show called
Zombie Survival. Each contestant is given a backpack
of supplies and a unique weapon. Their goal: be the first to
make it through the zombie-plagued city to the pick-up zone
alive. But because there's only one seat available on the
helicopter, the contestants not only have to fight against the
hordes of the living dead, they must also fight each other.
Zombies and Shit is Mellick's craziest book to date. A
campy, trashy, punk rock gore fest that is as funny as it is
brutal, as sad as it is strange. An edge-of-your-seat thrill
ride that twists the zombie genre into something you've never
seen before, but always wanted to.
This edition features an introduction by master of
horror BRIAN KEENE.
"It's fucking exhilarating--a tight, breakneck narrative and
lots of awesome ultra-violence and quirky, distinct
characters." -
BRIAN KEENE, author of
The Rising and
Dead Sea
"Unlike any zombie apocalypse novel you've ever read,
Zombies and Shit takes the zombie mythology and
reimagines it in a brutal reality game show like no other.
Filled with sentient zombies, zombie smart cars, mechanized
zombie dogs, and a cybernetic Mr. T, Zombies and Shit is part
Running Man, part
Battle Royale, part
Lost, and all Carlton Mellick III." -
S. G. BROWNE, author of
Breathers
"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
"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_ "Mellick's writing almost defies description... It's
gory, weird, raunchy and sometimes hilarious and well-worth
trying to track down." -
