          <body><![CDATA[	Reading Cameron Pierce’s sophomore bizarro novella is kind of like watching a Monty Python sketch where all the actors are on acid and so are you.  It’s weird, it’s fucked up, but somehow it all makes sense.  As with Shark Hunting in Paradise Garden, Pierce has molded a surreal world out of t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81027051">more...</a>]]></body>

But with his newest book, it’s easy to see that Mellick is still evolving as a storyteller.

I once heard Krall mentioned as the Quentin Tarantino of bizarro, and I think it’s true in that he has a perfect mastery of genre fiction.
