Book Reviews of Punk Land
Book Review: Another satirical and entertaining journey from Mellick, this time through Punk Heaven
Summary: 4 Stars
Carlton Mellick III is a very entertaining author, taking the base of the horror genre and twisting it with satire, adding healthy portions of belly laughs, and some of the grossest scenarios worthy of Edward Lee.
'Punk Land' is about a man once named Cal Corncob who dies and goes to heaven, where his new name is Goblin. Unfortunately, entering heaven causes massive deformities. Goblin had been a quiet man with an abnormal dild0 fetish, collecting them for display on his ping-pong table. He didn't use them except for his obsessive/compulsive disorder of throwing them at people, which he cannot control in heaven either.
From regular heaven, Goblin travels to a new, recently developed corner of the divine afterlife called Punk Land, created by and presided over by Sid Vicious. Goblin still has few friends, even in heaven, but when Punk Land begins to deteriorate, Goblin meets Shark Girl, Nan, and Mortician. Too many strange rules are popping up on the entry-forms for Punk Land, and its up to Goblin and Shark Girl to get to the bottom of the clean-cut mess and return Punk Land to its anarchistic ways.
The book is sprinkled with some very hilarious cartoons, drawings, pictures, lists, and tidbits of information, like what can and cannot be done with the Robot Strippers. Check out the back of the book for information on beautiful cover model Darenzia.
Mellick is the master of horror satire and parody. Although I prefer his other works, like 'Ocean Of Lard', 'Sea Of Patchwork Cats', and 'The Menstruating Mall', 'Punk Land' is still a great, light read if you want something squishy and disgusting in a tongue-in-cheek tale. Enjoy!
