false 60185 1 There's a new genre rising from the underground. Its name: BIZARRO. For years, readers have been asking for a category of fiction dedicated to the weird, crazy, cult side of storytelling that has become a staple in the film industry (with directors such as David Lynch, Takashi Miike, Tim Burton, and even Lloyd Kaufman) but has been largely ignored in the literary world, until now. The Bizarro Starter Kit features short novels and story collections by ten of the leading authors in the bizarro genre: D. Harlan Wilson, Carlton Mellick III, Jeremy Robert Johnson, Kevin L Donihe, Gina Ranalli, Andre Duza, VIncent W. Sakowski, Steve Beard, John Edward Lawson, and Bruce Taylor. 58554 book 18 4 2006 The Bizarro Starter Kit (Orange) total:73|5:31|4:24|3:16|2:1|1:1| 73 302 131 13 4 0 false false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 17:33:46 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 08:15:35 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Dec 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 09:37:47 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 17:19:47 -0800 2008

I'm sorry but nearly all these stories flat-out sucked.
