Clusterfuck by Carlton Mellick III
5.0
This was my third book by CM3 and it definitely delivered as my current favorite of his! It takes place in the same location (Turtle Mountain) as Apeshit, with different spin-off style characters.
For me, Clusterfuck is great camp-horror fun. I just kept visualizing this goofy, idiotic book as an awesome movie. It was full of imagination, solid character development with backstories, a great location (caves are spooky!), and tons of off-the-wall nonsense that makes you laugh and go, “that’s weird as fuck.” I couldn’t put this one down, it was captivating.
Mellick always knows how to incorporate your normal, everyday people— and then turns them into freaks within a few pages. Whether they have an extremely dark past, a disgusting secret or fetish, mutilated body parts, or you know, maybe sacrificed to be Satan’s wife as a child— Mellick finds a way to toss that in there like typical information. I find it to be hilarious! I think that is part of what makes these books so great.
If you’re into cave mutants and the complete mangling of a bunch of college kids, then this is your next book. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys bizarre, comedic horror.
