Fantastic Orgy

As the title would suggest, there's a fair amount of sex within this book. As a book of short stories, the stories range and vary in weirdness, but all are entertaining.The first story, Candy-Coated, is about the struggles of an overly buff guy with a lollipop for a head and how difficult it is to get laid with a candy head.Next is Ear Cat, about a shut-in who is sent a cat with ears covering its body instead of fur. It leaks earwax all over the house and constantly listens to everything. Personally, one of the grossest stories in this collection.Fantastic Orgy is about a time when STDs are no longer diseases, but have mutated into different forms of body modifications. Some STDs can change your hair color, some make your breasts/penis larger, and some making even more extreme changes. STDs become a commodity to swap, like trading cards.City Hobgoblins only needs two words: Shark sex.Porno In August I can't even really describe without giving too much away. Just a bunch of porn stars dropped into the middle of the ocean to make their film. Shark sex does appear in this one, too.Overall, the book is brilliantly weird and absurdly funny.

I love Carlton Mellick III. He has yet to disappoint me, and if you enjoy Bizarro with any of the same morbid fascination that I do, you have yet to be disappointed too. Of course, if you don't know CM3, then you are missing out. You need to remedy this now. Now.And "Fantastic Orgy" is as good a place to start as any. A short collection of short stories, this is an excellent introduction to the twisted mindscape of CM3. I'll be honest - all of the stories are standouts, and each are reflective of a different side of his writing style."Porno in August" is probably my favorite, as it is a David Lynch-ian mindbender."Candy Coated" is plain funny."Ear Cat" is strange and very satisfying."City Hobgoblins" made me want to read "Satan Burger" and is an excellent primer on shark sex.The titular story, "Fantastic Orgy" is full of sex and violence. Two of my favorite things.So, pull up a chair.Set yourself on fire.Dine on the tears of orphans.And enjoy.

Like the chick on the cover, I too have crazy hair that objects get all tangled up in. Her hair is more awesome, because it's a STM and actually tentacles!* If STD's did modify one's body in weird and sometimes super-hero ways, people would totally have unprotected, fantastic orgies all the time.* Did you know that mutated Ear, Muscle, and Gentlemen cats from a Kitty of the Month club are excellent therapy? They'll help cure your hoarding urges and agoraphobia!* It's been about 12 years since I had a wine and cheese pairing class. So, I'm not entirely sure a Stilton would go with a Tropical Sensation lollipop head.* Shark sex, punk bands, set in the world of SATAN BURGER?! AHHHHHHHHH! Best Story EVER!* I'm not sure why there are amnesiac porn stars floating around the ocean. You probably don't either. Hmph.

This was a great short story collection by the Bizarro madman himself Carlton Mellick III. This time around we have five short stories each that entertain to no end. My two favorites were Kitty of the Month, and Fantastic Orgy although I really enjoyed the other ones as well. Again Carlton does not disappoint when it comes to creativity and absurdness. If your into Shark sex then this is totally the book for you and if that intrigues you, then get it you will be thoroughly entertained as always in the bizarro way that only Mellick can deliver.

Kind of a few quick reads but a very fun and wild ride through the twisted mind of Carlton Mellick III again like a even crazier mini twilight zone series, with stds, hot shark chicks, candy headed people, funky mutations, and bizarre cats, This book will put a warpped grin on your face and you wont want to put it down. It will even lead you into the book "Satan Burger" with the little prequel story in it. Keep 'Em Comin' CM III.

Got this on sale, a group of short stories each unique in their own way. I had a few visceral emotional responses while reading, which is rare for me these days. For that alone the stories are worth perusal and hence, 4 stars.

This collection of Carlton Mellick III stories is amazing. There isn't a bad story in the bunch. It has STDs that can mutate, a ripped muscle man with a lollipop for a head, a cat of the month club that goes horrendously wrong, amnesiac porn actors stranded in the ocean, and even has a prequel to Satan Burger included. Buy it, read it, and most of all, love it.

I purchased this as a joke; just to see what the heck was going through the authors mind. I have to admit it's so bizarre, it's kinda good.

Not great. Not terrible. Many of his other books are 5 stars in my opinion. This one wasn't. The stories were too short to have any impact like his other work. I thought two of them we're okay. I would borrow rather than buy this one.

I love these bizarro stories. Ear Cat and Fantastic Orgy are my two favorite stories in this book. If you want to laugh, definitely read this.I ordered this book, new, on Amazon. I almost finished reading the book and realized the last pages of the last story are missing!! And it only has one page of author's notes, which begins in the middle of a sentence. It's obvious there are pages missing. Really disappointed! I don't know how the last story ends. My book stops after page 114

Carlton Mellick III is a great bizarro author! This book is just as strange, deranged and tantalizing as most of his work. Easy and fun to read. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for something off the beaten path of your typical fiction books. This is the 4th book I've purchased by Mellick and I must say I'm never disappointed

These Bizarro books are hilarious. Carlton Mellick III is a genius. If you have not read any you should start now.
