What the hell did I just read?!
A very short but odd book. This story needed to be developed more, with less of an abrupt ending. I am struggling to put into words what I read and to review it. The story line is very bizarre but almost humorous.

Elements near the start are almost slapstick, but then it kicks into a surreal adventure of the haunted vagina that's pretty good, but certainly not the best of Mellick's work.

No one can judge me for rating a book titled The Haunted Vagina so high okay.
Was it the best literary wise, god no.
But was I smiling and cackling the entire time I read it? Absolutely!
I've read a lot of weird novels, but nothing as bizarre and as wholesome as one where a man climbs into his girlfriend's haunted vagina.
I genuinely do not know what else to say about this book. It was wild, hilarious, unpredictable, chaotic, absolutely bizarre! But I'm obsessed with how much fun it was to read!!
I went in expecting dark smut. Instead, I got a wholesome, cartoon town horror that had me craiced up!!
I think I found my new favourite genre of writing! I have no idea what it is, but it's Carlton Mellick III's writing, and I'm living for the chaos of it all!
(Bonus points because there's also a pet humanoid skeleton dog that nibbles on toes and waffles his tail bone)

ojapierdole co to było, zryło mi potężnie łeb, nie jestem w stanie tego ocenić gwiazdkowo, autor było definitywnie naćpany pisząc to
Not my favorite of his, but definitely a quick and fun read if you’re not squeamish and in the mood for something extremely different

It's about as good as you'd expect a book called The Haunted Vagina would be. There is a lot to be desired as many things are left unexplained. It's interesting, though, but very strange.

I got this book as a present from a secret Santa in a gift exchange on Goodreads. The note with is pretty much was that they couldn’t resist. I was so amused with the idea of this book that I put in on my wish list, just to see if someone would be brave enough to buy it for me. Apparently, there is someone braver than me in the group.
The book is a bizzaro, which is a newer genre to me. I have only read a few other books in the genre. So I was really excited for another glimpse into that world. It was fascinating and horrifying all at the same time.
The haunted vagina portion was never really explained, which just made it better for me. There was a theory, but it was never really confirmed. That was not the point of the book. The point wasn’t why Stacy’s vagina was haunted, but instead that it was. Just roll with it. The “ghost” is this weird video game like demon girl named Fig who is on the cover. I do not ship Fig and Steve, but that is mostly because Stockholm syndrome isn’t really for me.
The fact that Steve’s name is Steve is so wonderful for me. It was this jarring realization half way through the novel or so. His name is so normal and everything around him is so very not normal. It was wonderful. I have no idea that the name Steve would ever be a positive thing in my life, but there it is. This book made me think such weird thoughts.
There was little to no world building, but it was still a vivid world, if that makes sense. Everything was just so weird and Steve knew nothing so I knew nothing. It made sense. What little information Steve learned we learned, even when it made things ridiculously more strange.
The writing never went over the top, despite the plot having the potential to be bad. Instead this was the right amount of bizarre. It was bizarre for bizarre sake. I am curious if all of the other books by Mellick will be like this. I loved this book, but I am also really unsure how I feel at the same time. Something I am realizing is probably part of the bizarro genre. So give this one a shot, maybe read it aloud at a party of adults. It would make a great bonding experience.
