"If you like satires which are highly imaginative, subversive, gory, funny as hell and completely surreal CM3 may be your literary messiah."           - Ricardo Gonzalez Del Valle "Carlton Mellick creates fascinating and intricate worlds out of meat, slime, sexuality, wire, and the kind of nightmares that make you laugh when you wake up."       - Jemiah Jefferson "Brilliant writing that oozes into your skull and melts your brain like a box of a zillion crayons."        - Idiot Alien Thought Creature "Mellick is smarter than the dumbness he tries to coat his writing in; you feel like you're reading a comic or watching MTV - but that underneath there is something deeper and smarter than the cartoonish presentation before your eyes."     - Euchrid   "Through childlike narration Mr. Mellick can present to his reader some of the most curious and knee-slapingly hysterical blaspheme."     - Ian David McGowen

"There is depth behind his simplistic prose, and humor all around it. What at first seems unsophisticated quickly becomes a firm identity to the characters, and you realize the intelligence behind the naivety. Yes, it's all on purpose, and you've just been had!"     - Schtinky "Mellick has definitely joined the ranks of the bizarre literary geniuses such as Burroughs, Philip K. Dick, and Vonnegut."     - Charles Glover "Mellick's imagination is boundless, and his writing truly shows this. His characters, plot, and writing style are original, enjoyable, and inspiring."     - Lionel Bigsby "CM3 is the most imaginative writer since Lethem and Vonnegut. Different, and absolutely thought provoking..."     - Daniel McCreary "His books are from another universe."     - Cameron Pierce
