If you’ve never heard of Carlton Mellick III, you’ve never heard of Bizarro. A cult genre of fiction that could be summed up as simply ‘weird’, Bizarro is what happened in the early 2000’s when readers began demanding absurd-yet-good works from smaller presses like Eraserhead Books. "Literature's equivalent to the cult section at the video store" has been delighting and terrorizing the underground fiction scene ever since, and at the front of that grotesque charge, every step of the way, has been Carlton Mellick III.
