I wholeheartedly recommend Apeshit by Carlton Mellick III and Fistful of Feet by Jordan Krall. They're two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet who've both created perverted, gory worlds of insanity. Apeshit is sort of what dead teenager movies would be like if they were as subversive and nasty as the assholes who say horror is ruining society say they are. Fistful of Feet is a Bizarro spaghetti Western with Cthulhuite indians, a crooked frontier town that serves as a den of fetishistic debuche and a taciturn Clint Eastwood style hero.

In spite of massive DIY promotions, blurbs from authors like Piers Anthony, John Skipp, Edward Lee and Alan Moore, people always end up stumbling into Bizarro by either super weird coincidences or meeting one of us at a con or something. Half the time, somebody's story about discovering Bizarro sounds like the beginning of an A Team episode. "I was at a strip club, when this weird kid in a denim jacket with dreads said he liked my Green Lantern shirt and was thinking maybe he'd get a lavender mohawk too. We get to talking about Grant Morrison for like three hours, then we ended up hanging out at this bar where a little dude with glasses was tossin' squid. Then he handed me a card that said "Bizarrocentral.com"." Keep me posted on what you think about Apeshit and Super Fetus. I haven't read Super Fetus or met Adam Pepper yet, but it seems like good high concept Bizarro. A title you can't ignore, a premise so different you HAVE to see if it works, the whole schmeer.

Experiments At 3 Billion A.M.

I just read Experiments At 3 Billion A.M. by Alexander Zelenyj - huge collection of scary and really really really weird stories that mix horror with every other genre you can imagine. I recommend!!

Now I think I'll go re-read something by Thomas Ligotti...
