ClownFellas: Tales of the Binzo Family
by Carlton Mellick"Carlton Mellick III goes past silly, through weird, detours around dumb, blasts through bizarre, and gets to a place where the normal physics of narrative no longer apply. You will never be the same."--Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother and HomelandIn a topsy-turvy world where clowns are killers and crooks, Little Bigtop is a three-ring circus of crime, and no syndicate is more dangerous than the Bozo family. From the wildly original mind of Carlton Mellick III comes the short-story collection ClownFellas--an epic mob saga where life is cheap and the gags will slay you.For years, the hard-boiled capos of the Bozo family have run all of the funny business in Little Bigtop, from the clown brothels to the illegal comedy trade. But hard times have befallen the Bozos now that Le Mystère, the French clown Mafia, has started moving in and trying to take over the city. If that weren't enough, they've got to deal with the cops, the Feds, the snitches, the carnies, the mysterious hit man Mr. Pogo, and the mutant clowns over in the Sideshow district. With the odds stacked against them, the Bozos must fight to survive . . . or die laughing.Advance praise for ClownFellas"Mario Puzo meets Barnum & Bailey . . . You just can't look away as the ridiculousness escalates."--Publishers Weekly"The most original novelist working today? The most outrageous? The most unpredictable? These aren't easy superlatives to make; however, Carlton Mellick may well be all of those things, behind a canon of books that all irreverently depart from the form and concepts of traditional novels, and adventure the reader into a howling, dark fantasyland of the most bizarre, over-the-top, and mind-warping inventiveness. In my opinion, ClownFellas is his best work to date."--Edward Lee, author of City Infernal and Header"I rarely enjoy clowns--which is ironic since I've been one for over four decades--but ClownFellas is great on so many levels, irony being one of them. What can I say besides I love it! Great read, and funny as hell . . . I have been accused of being unfunny before, and after the trial I had to enter the Witless Protection Program. This is funny!"--Barry Lubin, aka Grandma, longtime Big Apple Circus clown

Club Monstrosity
by Jesse PetersenNatalie's one of Frankenstein's creations and works in a New York City morgue. So of course she needs therapy. She and her friends--er, fellow monsters--have formed the world's most exclusive, most dysfunctional support group. What could go wrong?Undetected in the modern world and under pressure to stay that way, Natalie Grey, Dracula, Bob the Blob, and others (including the fetching wolfman Alec) meet regularly to talk about the pressures of being infamous in the Big Apple. Topics include how long it's been since their last sighting, how their "story" creates stereotypes they can't fulfill, and--gasp--sometimes even their feelings. But when their pervy Invisible Man, Ellis, is killed in a manner reminiscent of the H.G. Wells novel, it's clear someone's discovered their existence and is down for some monster busting. Led by Natalie--and definitely not helped by Hyde's bloodthirsty tendencies--the members of Monstofelldosis Anonymous band together for security and a little sleuthing. And maybe--maybe--if they don't end up dead, they'll end up friends somewhere along the way.
