Title: Strange books
Post by: Dave W on December 29, 2009, 06:47:57 PM
You can buy 'em here (http://www.abebooks.co.uk/books/weird/index.shtml).

I'm thinking of ordering The Haunted Vagina. Or maybe The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories.

There's even a bass book in there.

I followed your link, and then looked at The Haunted Vagina you spoke of.  Then I looked at google and read some of the titles of the author's other works.  The Haunted Vagina is his 14th novel.  Look at (http://www.amazon.com/Carlton-Mellick-III/e/B002BMAZDW/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1) some of the other intriguing titles he's penned.

I get the impression he might be the Troma of the literary world.

I guess I'd like to ask, did the literary world NEED a Troma?

I hope you're right, but you sure as hell never know. One of last years biggest sellers was some book on how to defend yourself against Zombie attacks. I don't recall the title but my kid treats it like it was the family bible ??? :sad:

I can hear the critics now " I laughed, I cried, I kissed ten bucks goodbye. I couldn't put it down , a real nail biter. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time" .
Ya gotta wash that sticky stuff off your hands, quit bittinng your nails and  for Gods' sake get some Preparation H, is what I say ;)

Both of those are on this page too.

Neither sounds as entertaining as Why Do I Vomit? or The Pop-Up Book of Phobias.
