Product Description
There exists a race of cannibals who are made out of candy. They live in an underground world filled with lollipop forests and gumdrop goblins. During the day, while you are away at work, they come above ground and prowl our streets for food. Their prey: your children. They lure young boys and girls to them with their sweet scent and bright colorful candy coating, then rip them apart with razor sharp teeth and claws. When he was a child, Franklin Pierce witnessed the death of his siblings at the hands of a candy woman with pink cotton candy hair. Since that day, the candy people have become his obsession. He has spent his entire life trying to prove that they exist. And after discovering the entrance to the underground world of the candy people, Franklin finds himself venturing into their sugary domain. His mission: capture one of them and bring it back, dead or alive. Cannibals of Candyland is an erotic horror story for the bizarro reader. Dark, disturbing, and absurd; this isn't the board game version of candy land you used to play as a kid.

The Cannibals of Candyland is SWEET!, Sep 28 2009
By Kevin Shamel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Cannibals of Candyland (Paperback)
Carlton Mellick III says that the Candyland in his book, THE CANNIBALS OF CANDYLAND, isn't really the Candyland of the board game. He says there's "...no Molasses Swamp or Gumdrop Pass, nor any character from Candyland." He readily admits, however, that the game is indeed the inspiration for the story. He says so right at the beginning of the book. This scares the sweets out of the tiny child inside you the whole time that you read it.Don't worry--the adult in you will have bouts of sweaty fright, too. The images of candy people biting into people-parts will flash across my mind's eye every time I see hard candy from now on, I'm sure.
This is a pure delight of a horror story. Boogeyman freakout to the extreme. The story follows a man named Franklin on his quest to prove that the candy people are real and responsible for killing his siblings when they were all children. And that the monsters continue to abduct and kill kids. It's what drives him in life.
Franklin ends up in the very secret Candyland. He even finds the horrible, sexy, insane, dominatrix peppermint strawberry woman that killed his brother and sisters. And she finds him. Franklin learns what it means to be a candy person.
This is one excellent book. Scary, riveting, interesting, funny, weird, and tasty. There are marshmallow animals, sinister little gumdrop critters, a ridiculously manly candy man named Licorice, and other horrible cannibalistic monsters. It's like a big bite of bloody cotton candy, or like licking a strawberry lollipop to get to the sexy center.
I've been reading quite a bit of Carlton Mellick's books lately. This is definitely one of my favorites. It's like a really twisted Hansel and Gretel meets Cannibal Holocaust with spicy-sweet sex the way only Mr. Mellick can imagine it. In Candyland.

This review is from: The Cannibals of Candyland (Paperback)
Franklin Pierce has been obssesed with the candy people, ever since he witnessed one kill his brother and sisters. One night, he follows a candy person into candyland, and that is when things get really weird.Don't be afraid try "bizarro" stories. Carlton Mellick III has a crisp, clean writing style; it's just his ideas that are weird, in the best way. The Cannibals Of Candyland is a strange ride through a world of candy coated flesh eaters. Franklin Pierce's trials and tribulations, as he tries to avenge his murdered siblings..., well, if you like something different, and definitely fun, read The Cannibals Of Candyland. You will never look at candy the same way, again.

Yet another wild ride from Mellick III, Oct 8 2009
By Nick Cato "nickyak" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Cannibals of Candyland (Paperback)
When Franklin was a kid, he witnessed the brutal murder of his siblings at the hands (and teeth) of a woman who looked like she was made of candy. He has spent much of his time since trying to find this woman, and has even spotted what he calls "candy people" in various parks and wooded areas (and naturally his friends mock him).But now Franklin has discovered the subterranean lair where they dwell, and is bent on bringing a candy person back as proof to the world of their existence.
Before long, the candy woman ("Jujy") from his childhood makes Franklin her love slave, and to complicate matters, they begin to fall for each other. A monkey wrench is thrown into the cotton candy when Jujy becomes pregnant with the first human/candy person hybrid. When Franklin tries to escape, he reluctantly saves a bully from his neighborhood
TCOC is another fine bizarro outing from Mellick III, with plenty of twisted imagery, sex scenes, and outlandish violence. While I think it ends kind-of abruptly (and I wanted to see or learn more about the hybrid baby), CANNIBALS is a satisying read for fans of the demented.
Listmania!
