ELECTRIC JESUS CORPSE

Available for the first time in over a decade, Carlton Mellick III’s Electric Jesus Corpse returns to print one final time in this collectors edition hardcover, limited to only 500 copies. Written in 1995 when he was seventeen years old, Mellick’s earliest and most experimental novel follows Jesus Christ’s twelve apostles as they struggle to survive in a surreal dystopian version of our modern day world during the zombie apocalypse. This book is a prime example of Mellick’s proto-bizarro writing before the success of his first novel, Satan Burger. Although much rougher and more unrefined than his later works, Electric Jesus Corpse shows where the author came from as a writer in his youth. Featuring 12 illustrations the author did for the book while he was still in high school.

For completionists and hardcore fans only.

This is the last time this book will ever see print.

WARNING: This book was written by a teenager in the 1990s who was trying to be as edgy and offensive as possible. Read at your own risk.

SWEET STORY – Signed Limited Edition Hardcover

SWEET STORY

Sally is an odd little girl. It’s not because she dresses as if she’s from the Edwardian era or spends most of her time playing with creepy talking dolls. It’s because she chases rainbows as if they were butterflies. She believes that if she finds the end of the rainbow then magical things will happen to her–leprechauns will shower her with gold and fairies will grant her every wish. But when she actually does find the end of a rainbow one day, and is given the opportunity to wish for whatever she wants, Sally asks for something that she believes will bring joy to children all over the world. She wishes that it would rain candy forever. She had no idea that her innocent wish would lead to the extinction of all life on earth.

Sweet Story is a children’s book gone horribly wrong. What starts as a cute, charming tale of rainbows and wishes soon becomes a vicious, unrelenting tale of survival in an inhospitable world full of cannibals and rapists.

The Sweet Story hardcover is sold in two cover variations.
