Cinque eBook di Bizarro Fiction gratis fino al 26 novembre

Leggo sul sito di Carlton Mellick III e diffondo.

Nello sforzo di persuadere i lettori a comprare più libri di Bizarro Fiction per Natale, Eraserhead Press ha deciso di mettere in download gratuito gli eBook (in pdf) di cinque libri fino al giorno del ringraziamento (26 novembre 2009, per gli yankee).
Sono un regalo ideale per i bambini, soprattutto se uno vuole farsi accusare di corruzione di minore ^__^

Carlton Mellick III dice che “MachoPoni” e “The Faggiest Vampire” sono libri di Bizarro Fiction per bambini, ma non mi fiderei troppo: sarebbe come chiedere a me se una certa scena di un film è troppo spinta per un pubblico delle elementari ▼

Consiglio per i regali natalizi:
se le tue amiche hanno amato i romanzi di Licia Troisi
hanno proprio bisogno di questo delizioso gadget!

I libri scelti dall’editore sono i due “Bizarro Starter Kit” (orange e blue) di AA.VV., “Super Fetus” di Adam Pepper, “Ass Goblins of Auschwitz” di Cameron Pierce e “Sausagey Santa” di Carlton Mellick III.
I due Starter Kit li avevo in versione cartacea, ma come molti altri miei libri sono in giro in prestito. Ora che ho gli eBook la sensazione di possesso è maggiore di prima (e occupano meno spazio). Sono le raccolte consigliate come introduzione al genere, ma secondo me è meglio incominciare con i libri di Carlton Mellick III. Io ho iniziato con “Haunted Vagina” e lo consiglio a tutti. ^_^

Descrizione presa da Amazon:
There’s a new genre rising from the underground. Its name: BIZARRO. For years, readers have been asking for a category of fiction dedicated to the weird, crazy, cult side of storytelling that has become a staple in the film industry (with directors such as David Lynch, Takashi Miike, Tim Burton, and even Lloyd Kaufman) but has been largely ignored in the literary world, until now. The Bizarro Starter Kit features short novels and story collections by ten of the leading authors in the bizarro genre: D. Harlan Wilson, Carlton Mellick III, Jeremy Robert Johnson, Kevin L Donihe, Gina Ranalli, Andre Duza, VIncent W. Sakowski, Steve Beard, John Edward Lawson, and Bruce Taylor.

Descrizione presa da Amazon:
Santa isn’t the jolly old elf he’s been described as in Children’s stories. He’s a bit more grotesque than that. His eyes are pimento-stuffed olives, his teeth are walnuts, and his body is made of sausages.
One snowy Christmas Eve, while visiting the Fry family, Sausagey Santa is attacked by an evil force that is driven to destroy Christmas forever. It is an anti-Christmas spirit that loathes everything having to do with children and Jesus. After it steals his magic bag of presents, Santa calls upon Matthew Fry and his wife, Decapitron (a brutish warrior woman with a strange Christmas fetish and a candy cane sword), to help get it back and save Christmas for everyone.

Descrizione presa da Amazon:
Too tough to be aborted, Super Fetus fights back! He’s a fetus growing in the womb of a whiny white trash whore of a mother. His problem: she wants to have him aborted. But what this bitch doesn’t know is that she isn’t pregnant with some mild-mannered developing human form. Heck no. This is Super Fetus. He has an attitude and he is determined to be born, whether she likes it or not. Doing push-ups in the womb day and night, until he becomes amazingly buff, this little fetus is prepared to fight off the onslaught of vacuums, tongs, coat hangers, and scalpels. Once that sonofabitch doctor comes for him… he’ll be ready. A horrific and humorous romp with strange characters, stranger sex scenes, and one kick-ass musclebound fetus.

Descrizione presa da Amazon:
In a land where black snow falls in the shape of swastikas, there exists a nightmarish prison camp known as Auschwitz. It is run by a fascist, flatulent race of aliens called the Ass Goblins, who travel in apple-shaped spaceships to abduct children from the neighboring world of Kidland. Prisoners 999 and 1001 are conjoined twin brothers forced to endure the sadistic tortures of these ass-shaped monsters. To survive, they must eat kid skin and work all day constructing bicycles and sex dolls out of dead children.
While the Ass Goblins become drunk on cider made from fermented children, the twins plot their escape. But it won’t be easy. They must overcome toilet toads, cockrats, ass dolls, and the surgical experiments that are slowly mutating them into goblin-child hybrids.
Forget everything you know about Auschwitz… you’re about to be Shit Slaughtered.

Chiudo con le parole di Carlton Mellick III:

If you like one of the books, please take a few minutes to write a quick review for it on Amazon.com or Goodreads. Or post about it on your blog or favorite message board. Hell, just tell your friends about it the next time you are drinking together.

These small actions really do a lot to help out independent artists. And in this era of crushing multi-national conglomerates and economic strife, we independents can use all the help we can get.

And if you don’t like the book, at least you didn’t have to pay for it.

Di solito evito di fare due post nuovi in due giorni consecutivi, ma come avete visto questa cosa andava segnalata il prima possibile. E poi dovrò fare un terzo post sabato per un’altra cosa, se avrò tempo e voglia. Mi dispiacerebbe rimandare il lulz collettivo. ^_^
