Editorial Review:
There's a new genre rising from the underground. Its name: BIZARRO. For years, readers have been asking for a category of fiction dedicated to the weird, crazy, cult side of storytelling that has become a staple in the film industry (with directors such as David Lynch, Takashi Miike, Tim Burton, and Lloyd Kaufman) but has been largely ignored in the literary world, until now. The Bizarro Starter Kit features short novels and story collections by ten of the leading authors in the bizarro genre: D. Harlan Wilson, Carlton Mellick III, Jeremy Robert Johnson, Kevin L Donihe, Gina Ranalli, Andre Duza, VIncent W. Sakowski, Steve Beard, John Edward Lawson, and Bruce Taylor.

Rating:  - Great "Starter Kit"
If you don't know about authors like D. Harlan Wilson, Jeremy Robert Johnson, and Carton Mellick, III, you need to get this anthology. If you are well aware of their exploits and some others, you still need to check it out. I have become a fan of sorts over a couple of the authors mentioned above, and I like reading the other one, too. The anthology starts out strong and ends strong, and I thought it would be a tour-de-force, but alas, the middle sags a bit. This is the only reason I give it ... Read More
Rating: - Beware all who enter ....
If this is a "Starter Kit", I can't wait to see what comes next! This is a shocking, disturbing, in some cases sick, but fun read - just what they intended. If you can make it through this, you, like me, are pretty weird!
The longer stories are: Mellick's "Baby Jesus Butt Plug"; Johnson's "Extinction Journals"; Donihe's "Greatest F*cking Moments in Sports"; Ranalli's "Suicide Girls in the Afterlife"; Duza's "Don't F(bleep)k With the Coloured"; Beard's "Survivor's Dream"; Lawson's "Truth ... Read More
Rating: - Some Books are Too damned weird
I managed to get this anthology right from the website that produces it. The best story in there is Mr. Identity. It has a different set up than most anthology, but then again this is one of those anthologies as much you want to read it in one sitting, you don't because it is too damn weird. You don't want to go into sensory overload here. I have a related anthology to this and it was signed by Brutal Dreamer.
I am familar with Carlton Merrick 3's work from being on Authorzone, and ... Read More
Rating:  - Introducing Bizarro!
Never heard of Bizarro fiction? Well if you like wacky, twisted, surreal, funny, strange, totally absurd stories than this is the book for you.
I was already a fan of Carlton Mellick III, so I wanted to discover other bizarro authors. Someone online recommended this book to me but I have never been a fan of anthologies. Still I would recommend this book which has short works by 10 authors and is a great introduction to a new genre.
I have now read other books by Jeremy Robert ... Read More
Rating: - Weird stuff!
I'll start by saying that I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning what Bizarro fiction is. My summation after reading this book is that Bizarro is a hell of a lot of fun!
Packed full (and I mean packed)of some of the funniest, grossest, weirdest, most surreal stories I have EVER read! What I liked the most about Bizarro is that it's fun to read. It's less like experimental writing (which I find mostly hard to read) and more like a good B horror movie or a cult ... Read More
