Product Description
"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring." --Chuck Palahniuk
Satan Burger is the international cult hit that has grown such an enormous following over the past 10 years that it not only launched the career of underground author Carlton Mellick III, but inspired an entire literary movement.
Absurd philosophies, dark surrealism, and the end of the human race . . .
God hates you. All of you. He closed the gates of Heaven and wants you to rot on Earth forever. Not only that, he is repossessing your souls and feeding them to a large vagina-shaped machine called the Walm--an interdimensional doorway that brings His New Children into the world. He loves these new children, but He doesn't love you. They are more interesting than you. They are beautiful, psychotic, magical, sex-crazed, and deadly. They are turning your cities into apocalyptic chaos, and there's nothing you can do about it ...
Featuring: a narrator who sees his body from a third-person perspective, a man whose flesh is dead but his body parts are alive and running amok, an overweight messiah, the personal life of the Grim Reaper, lots of classy sex and violence, and a motley group of squatter punks that team up with the devil to find their place in a world that doesn't want them anymore.
From the Inside Flap
"This generation's Vonnegut!" --Vincent W. Sakowski
"Carlton Mellick III has the craziest book titles...and the kinkiest fans!" --Christopher Moore
"Carlton Mellick III is one of bizarro fiction's most talented practitioners, a virtuoso of the surreal, science fictional tale." --Cory Doctorow

"Mellick has definitely joined the ranks of the bizarre literary geniuses such as Burroughs, Philip K. Dick, and Vonnegut." --Charles Glover
"Brilliant writing that oozes into your skull and melts your brain like a box of a zillion crayons." --Idiot Alien Thought Creature

mmmMMMMM! Satan burgers!,
By
This review is from: Satan Burger (Paperback)
Squishy, batter-dipped, soul-stealing cheeseburgers are deep-fried by our own resident homosexual ex-arch angel himself, Satan, while an overweight, lard-bellied messiah scrubs the bathroom floors with a crusty mop and bucket. Behind the counter stand your servers, consisting of a pierced and tattooed skin-head babe and an Asian kid who thinks he's a pirate. Aaargh! It's your modern day family restaurant! Just beware of the living, breathing demon-possessed appliances and the scorpion flies hovering above, waiting to paralyze you. Better get yourself a female baboon!Most books can't hold my attention for long. I consider myself more film oriented. But CM3's "Satan Burger" has breathed new life into a long dead literary world for me. This book is captivating and humorous like no book I've read before, and shows what a little style and imagination can do. This anti-novel should be required reading for all the *shrugging* school systems in America! Now, pass the ketchup.

Juvenile, Pointless and Stupid.,
By Propaganda is Painless (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Satan Burger (Paperback)
I get the feeling this book is trying to be surreal and funny. It fails. I found myself getting frustrated while reading this... have you ever watched a real bad movie then gotten upset because that's 2 hours of your life wasted that you'll never get back. That's the feeling I got while reading this mastubatory trite. If your looking for GOOD surreal writing check out Raw Shark Texts, or Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

Have You Been to Satan Burger?,
By
This review is from: Satan Burger (Paperback)
An oddly assorted group of people living in a large house get a new tenant... Satan, who plans to open a restaurant. The fun starts here and never lets up. Heaven shuts down and the dead have no place to go. Plenty of great sex and violence, some great imagery, and a story line that gets stranger with every page. And I agree, the "Battlestar Galactica" original show had more than just a good theme song! Or did it? This is one of Mellick's first books. It is well developed and very interesting. He has since written many more in a very short period, including "Punk Land," the sequel to this book.
