Written at the age of 18, Carlton Mellick III's first novel is one big
slice of experimental chaos. B-movie zombie trash meets imperfect art. Check it out if you're already a fan and interested
in CM3's early work. Otherwise, not recommended.
"ELECTRIC
JESUS CORPSE is one of the most odd, strange, weird books I have ever read, and enjoyed every minute of it. If you are a Terry
Prachett fan then this is the book to read." - D. M. Yorton, Topsite
A
twisted and surreal version of the story of Jesus Christ set in a bizarre modern day Earth that has been ravaged by war and
cannibal zombie plagues, where the landscape is slowly mutating into meat and human flesh is transforming into machine. The
novel follows Christ's twelve apostles. However, in this world the apostles are pimps, necrophiliacs, skinheads, and other
assorted freaks. And they have no desire to follow Jesus Christ on his crusade to save humanity whatsoever. So this novel
follows the lives of these never-been apostles on their separate epic journeys into the bizarre. An awkward and chaotic work
of art that is like nothing you've ever seen.
