never read or heard of him, unfortunately the cover art puts me off, I'd look at it and then file it under 'trying to hard', also 'an anti-novel'?

Haven't any of you ever seen Murderkitchen's Sig? It's got a link right to Mellick's website. There's some sample stuff to read on it.

Yeah I'd like to get one, but which? My tendency is to check out the most recent, but that's not always the best idea, I'm gonna sniff around.

I got about half way through Electric Jesus Corpse; It had wayyyy too many characters to keep me interrested, it had potential but I just got bored with it. Mellick even basically says "You're probably going to hate this" in the author's note at the beggining. It isn't really a book I hate, I just couldn't get into it, it is long and tends to get a little "too-bizarre" at times. I am, someday, I WILL pick up Satan Burger, it's shorter, supposedly a lot better based on the reviews at amazon, has a better storyline, and overall has a better cover (A giant ASS in yout face!)---I will give Mellick a lot of credit for EJC though, he wrote the thing when he was like 17 or 18 years old and it is a hell of a lot better than I could do.

ok, so that's my two pieces of copper.

Jeepers! Whenever something happens to me, or someone tells me about something, you guys talk about it!

My cousin told me last night that he is going to buy that book for me for XMas.

You seem to be strikingly negative, you might wanna take a look at that, or get a hair cut.

they're distracting, focus is lost and decisions are made that are sometimes innapropriate.

i think she is saying "my tits are big!" or "masturbate you pig!"
