Hoota Beast ISO Razor Toy,
By
This review is from: Razor Wire Pubic Hair (Paperback)
First of all, if you're walking into this experience expecting the standard Victorian storytelling experience that is still prevalent to this day (y'know, person's name followed by their history and the setting described in infinite detail, to make the reader feel omnipotent) then you'll be sadly disappointed. This is a bizarro book, meaning, it follows the bizarro mode of operation. As with any bizarro book, remember: reality is for people who can't handle fiction. The story itself is a study of relationship dynamics between semi-human and even less semi-human androidish beings in a bleak future. The characters aren't as vibrant as in some of CM3's other work, but the sheer enormity of their unusual attributes more than makes them worth studying. I kind of guessed how it would end, but maybe that's because I'm a WMD privy sniffer. More than anything, I love strolling through CM3's art exhibit - his is the genius of an avant film maker who instead turns to painting, using words for oil and paper for canvas. Using words in this way will no doubt send dictionary-gropers running to the authorities, but for me it's a pleasure to see English turned into a subby tart. Some people have been disturbed by the "violence" and "sex" in this book, but I fail to see what the hubbub is about - the author doesn't go into obsessive detail in these areas, nor are the elements in question out of place. In fact, in a book about the violence of relationships how can you not have sex or violence, or the combination thereof? This seems to be the book where CM3 really hit his stride, and I'd recommend it as an introduction to his work for those unfamiliar with him. If you're into fast-paced books loaded with unusual visuals, this is for you. And now, if you'll excuse me, I aim to play a game or two of black spider before the night is through..

Just a toy!,

This review is from: Razor Wire Pubic Hair (Paperback)
This is probably Carlton Mellick III's most erotic story. I won't bother going over the plot as it was explained in many other reviews in details. But I will say this, if you're relatively new to the bizarro genre, I suggest you wait before reading this one. It's quite experimental (even for bizarro) and unless you realy like hardcore erotic stories, you'll probably find it quite repulsing.
But if that's your kind of thing, this story will fascinate you. CM3 has a unique imagination it shows with this one.

Great Book,
By Bradley (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Razor Wire Pubic Hair (Paperback)
Carlton Mellick has a hell of an imagination. Although the book's setting is surreal and fantastical, his writing makes it seem real, as if it were existing in my own head. And his unique characters are a great extension of their environment. The sexual permeates the entire book, and unlike most authors who manage to make sex boring and bland, Carlton makes it highly entertaining.
