WARNING: DO NOT MOLEST THE BABY JESUS
Step into a dark and absurd world where human beings are slaves to corporations, people are photocopied instead of born, and the baby jesus is a very popular anal probe.
Presented in the style of a children's fairy tale, The Baby Jesus Butt Plug is a short dystopian horror story about a young couple who make the mistake of buying a living clone of the baby jesus to use for anal sex. Once the baby jesus clone turns on them, all hell breaks loose.
From the Inside Flap
"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

Be Careful What You Do With Him!,
By
This review is from: The Baby Jesus Butt Plug (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.

Strange, sometimes silly, and somewhat stupid,
By "imdateless" (Somewhere in the USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Baby Jesus Butt Plug (Paperback)
One of the least appealing stories that CM3 has written. I couldn't figure out what the meaning of it was, other then a rampant romp through a weird reality where cloned creatures are kept as pets. Strange, sometimes silly, and somewhat stupid - this story is all about just being a story for story sake (unlike CM3s other novels). Not one of his better works.It wasn't what I had expected it to be. Written in under the guise of a "fairy tale", I found that for the most part, the nonsensical interactions the characters had with each other seemed a little too absurd for my liking. I came across this little story after reading his other works, and was pleasantly dissappointed. Maybe I just need to read it again, but unlike his other works, I didn't feel any connection to the story, nor understood if there were any subtexts or themes within. Who knows, maybe it's just my brain running out of my ear and pretending to be just a jelly sandwich.

A massive tsunami of broken taboos has swept the world.,
By
This review is from: The Baby Jesus Butt Plug (Paperback)
Now, this story is hilarious. Plain and simple. There is nothing more pleasant than the sound of taboos breaking. I loved this until the last page when everything ended on a strangely profound note. At times this story seems like an exercise in depicting the most ridiculous form of bad parenting. If we wanted a baby why didn't we get a clone of one of us? asks the husband. Because in this world no one reproduces normally'children are vat grown and, most often, just born as adults. Babies are more like pets and they are treated as such.
The baby jesus' are the same: clones of Jesus that are more animal than human. For example, there are males and females and they breed and raise litters like cats'the protagonists buy theirs from the Mellick III version of a crazy cat lady. There is an underground movement that uses them as butt plugs which is so in vogue that no one can buy a baby jesus without being accused of being a pervert, much like in the real world. If there is a group of books in the world determined to challenge our taboos, this is part of the core group that just tears them down. Not for the faint hearted, but certainly for those who want to laugh their ***es off.
