Carlos, sounds like another book I'm going to have to make sure I read at some point. My "debut" to the genre was back in May of 2014 - Apeshit by Carlton Mellick III.
Patrick it was such an awesome read, you will like it, and I been wanting to read apeshit.
Thanks to all of you who have kept this group going! I'm S. R. Covieo, I'm new to Goodreads, and semi-new to bizarro fiction. I write in several genres - including what I call "Live Fiction" or "Non-Genre." I have a Goodreads giveaway for vol. 1 in a series titled 500.6 - vol 2 is at the printers as I write this. Enough about that, here's a brief intro into my world: After earning a creative writing degree I gave up writing for fifteen years out of a healthy fear of my own mind. Two years ago I was compelled to write a book in a different genre, and after publishing it I knew, madness or not, I had to return to writing. In April 2014 I left a well paying job, and after several months of grieving several life changing personal losses, I began pursuing writing with vigor.
I've read some books and stories that I would classify bizarre, but I'm really looking forward to the books this group will be introducing me too, and getting to know other people who like to read outside of the norm.
Hi I'm Matt. Stumbled along bizarro a couple of months ago and . . .it's all delightfully ill and sickening, full of the colour red and a pink, mushy substance that I can't help feel looks a little like my brain slathered right there on the pages. Not that I'd know if it was, anyway. I'm an incapable, blathering, spit-soaked-dumb-weight of a being, with half a head, weirdly long toe nails and a lump sticking out of my back that makes me look like Quasimodo. I like writing. I eat strange stuff.
Welcome Matt! Good to have you with us.
Finally more people that write and read weird stuff!!

Hi, I'm new to Bizarro Fiction. I just signed up for Kindle Unlimited and grabbed The Driver's Guide to Hitting Pedestrians by Andersen Prunty, on a whim, and am amazed so far. I started digging in a bit more, reading up on the genre. Very excited to learn that there are books like this available. I look forward to digging in and melting my mind. Thanks for having me in your group.
I haven't heard of that one but it sounds fun. Welcome aboard!

If you want more stuff like th..."It's funny that you mention CV Hunt. I just started Baby Hater earlier this evening! I hadn't made it through the first paragraph and I knew this was going to cater to me. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm just blindly diving in so I appreciate it.

Yes, follow Teresa and you can't go wrong! :)
Salutations & good eve to you all!I've newly fallen in lust with the bizarro fiction scene, and I'm happily itching the terrible rash it's given me. I'm a writer (imagine that) and stay at home dad of two crazy awesome kids. I've had a long string of eclectic/violent/dirty/odd jobs over the years, so if you've any questions, just ask.
Can't wait to read more weird stuff!
Welcome, Devin. Food all right??? Try the wine!!!

Bizarre ladies and gentleman of this big wide world, halloa! My name is Remesh. I am interested in western philosophy, classical fiction, poker, travelling, thinking and writing (occasionally). I listen to all kinds of music. My favorite artist is Pink Floyd. I am a diehard fan of Game of Thrones series.
I’ve recently published my first work of fiction, Diary of a Stranger which features a weirdo protagonist and falls under satirical romance category (I think). Have a great day. Diary of a Stranger
Hi, I'm Janie. I'm relatively new to the Bizarro genre, but so far I like it a lot. Strange things make me laugh, sometimes inappropriately. I try to keep the laughs inside, but this looks like a place where I can let them out. I don't wa-da-tah to the shama cow... 'cause thats a cama cama leepa-chaiii, dig? :)
Hey all,Reader and (recent) author. Wanted to say hi and glad I found this group. I've always loved strange fiction but never realized it had an easy classification I could look it up under. I've already found a bunch of new stuff to read just browsing.
Hey, B.L. I'm new to the genre, too, and am also having fun exploring. Detroit 2020 sounds cool.

But I was brought here by the shark killing the gay guy book and the clown thing and I like the style so ..."Hi new kid, don't worry, there's rarely a soul in this toilet. I just sampled two of your books, and I would say yes, there is a touch of bizarro there, if not more. Welcome!
Oh ... so that's what those things are for!
You couldn't use one of the other 4?! WTF?
Good luck with that. Others have tried and been defrocked.
Serves them right for frocking in the first place. #EndFrocking
(Is this a ghost town? Well, in case anyone visits this place nowadays, here goes...)Hi, I'm a fan of weird fiction and surrealism and is curious about this bizarro thing.
I made a surreal body horror choose-your-own-adventure story that might interest you: http://philome.la/TerjeNordin/the-gar...
Greetings! I'm Gerri and I'm a bizarro author from Upstate New York. My first novel, The Amnesia Girl, was published in 2017 by HellBound Books. I'm currently working on a second novel, guaranteed to be even more bizarre than the first! I'm looking forward to meeting other bizarro authors.
Is this where I go to sign up for unrelenting celestial sex in the afterlife? Or did I take a wrong turn somewhere...?
Hi, I'm Stephanie. I haven't read much bizarro at all yet but I am interested in it and figured this group was a good way to find out about more! One of my favorite genres is horror but I read all over the place.
Hey Stephanie (and others)The board here has been pretty quiet for quite a while, so unless you're the one looking to breathe new life into this place, I would urge everyone curious about Bizarro to head on over to Bizarro Central (https://bizarrocentral.com) to find out more. From there you can find links and information on all the major Bizarro books, authors, publishers, etc.
The Bizarro Fiction page on Facebook is also slightly more active than the one here on Goodreads, so if you're lookin' to interact with people, that might be worth checking out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bizarro1
Anyway, hope this helps everyone.
