The Bizarro Starter Kit (Orange) by Jeremy Robert Johnson, John Edward Lawson, Carlton Mellick III
2.0
I expected to like this collection more than I did, because I really enjoyed the first Bizarro novel I read some time ago and have since come to understand that several other short stories that I've enjoyed were, upon reflection, also somewhat Bizarro. Still, it seems that while I dig some styles of Bizarro others just don't do it for me at all. For instance, I greatly enjoyed Bruce Taylor's stories of magical realism.
Other stories that I'd rate highly include:
The Man in the Thick Black Spectacles (a strange story in a strange office)
Classroom Dynamics (with a university professor feeling too much for his students)
The Baby Jesus Butt Plug (creepy with some really unsettling moments reminiscent of 'Eraserhead')
Extinction Journals (post-apoc story of a man in a cockroach suit trying to survive)
