Back cover info: Friday the 13th meets Visitor Q. Apeshit is Mellick's love letter to the great and terrible B-horror movie genre. Six trendy teenagers (three cheerleaders and three football players) go to an isolated cabin in the mountains for a weekend of drinking, partying, and crazy sex, only to find themselves in the middle of a life and death struggle against a horribly mutated psychotic freak that just won't stay dead. Mellick parodies this horror cliché and twists it into something deeper and stranger. It is the literary equivalent of a grindhouse film. It is a splatter punk's wet dream. It is perhaps one of the most fucked up books ever written. If you are a fan of Takashi Miike, Evil Dead, early Peter Jackson, or Eurotrash horror, then you must read this book. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thoughts:This truly is a very extreme, odd, and ultra violent book....I can't recall the last time I felt really disturbed by the level/ type of violence in a book, but I did with this. It got me into the whole 'bizarro' genre( which is well worth check out). I've read about 6 or 7 Mellick books, and I'd say this is the most extreme, though 'Zombies And Shit' does come close...anyway well worth checking out if you after a really sick 'n' bizarre ride!  |
