Appetite for Satire

        Just when you think every stinkin' person in the WHOLE WORLD has turned (in the zombie sense) into a conformist, bourgeois SQUARE, and literature is about as well-coiffed and dead as Ivanka Trump, or one of those old-timely photos where folks propped up dead Uncle Horace and taped his eyelids open to be included in a formal family portrait, you stumble upon works such as Baby Jesus Butt Plug and Trump Chicken. 
         If you order and enjoy these books, please leave a reader review. That's the best way to thank an author whose work has brought you pleasure.

TRUMP CHICKEN: A Tale of the Grotesque 
by bobbygw   @bobbygw, bobbygw.com

      A gourmet satire for sophisticated palates, Trump Chicken reminds me of Jody Scott's short satirical skewerings.  And skewer Chicken does- gleefully! 
      In a folksy, shambling parlance worthy of the orange man himself author bobbygw's protagonist explains in a monologue just exactly how unpalatable Trump really is. A sort of Hannibal Lector meets Julia Child!  
      Hilarious and highly recommended!
      By the way, there is this on the copyright page: "This fiction contains elements of visceral horror, black humor, the grotesque, and the monstrous. Due to its appalling content, it should not be read by anyone."   You've been warned.  ​

THE BABY JESUS BUTT PLUG, a Fairy Tale
by Carlton Mellick III  @CarltonMellick3, carltonmellick.com

        Unnamed narrator and wife Mary answer an ad for a free baby jesus- but no using baby jesus as a sex toy!  "If you stick this child in your butt, you'll damn yourself to hell" warns the old woman they get him from. 
       An acid-trip-gone-bad, comedic nightmare of emasculatory disquiet at the superfluousness of husband once baby comes into the picture; at the trivializing absurdity of corporatism; at the impotence of self in the form of clones who not only do not save the day, but can't stop themselves from fucking like bunnies and turning into zombies and eating each other in a house transformed into living internal organs.
      Is Baby a surreal and macabre satire from the fevered imagination of one very sicko individual, or a true and factual tale of an old-lady curse come deservedly true on two perverts who do in fact use baby jesus as a butt plug?  You decide.
