In Mellick's first book, an epic supposed retelling of the tale of Christ, we get an intense helping of what makes the author great: brilliant style, outrageous surrealism, and tons of sex and violence. One of the problems a lot of people have with the book is that the contents are simply too outrageous or that it's too long - at 150,000 words it's quite a hefty tome. If you're a fan of Mellick's brand of bizarre, though, it's like an all-you-can-eat buffet of all your favorite meals. Go ahead and overeat. You won't regret it. ( )no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0971357285, Paperback)The twisted and surreal version of the story of Jesus Christ set in a bizarre version of modern day Earth that has been ravaged by war and cannibal zombie plagues, where the landscape is slowly mutating into meat and human flesh is transforming into machine. The novel follows Christ's twelve apostles. However, in this world the apostles are pimps, necrophiliacs, skinheads, and other assorted freaks. And they have no desire to follow Jesus Christ on his crusade to save humanity whatsoever. So this novel follows the lives of these never-been apostles on their separate epic journeys into the bizarre. An awkward and chaotic work of art that is like nothing you've ever seen.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:11 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
