About this title

From the Back Cover:

THE STEEL BREAKFAST ERA by Carlton Mellick III (w/ tattoos by
Pooch)

A nightmarishly absurd story that is like "RE-ANIMATOR" meets "NAKED LUNCH"
during the zombie apocalypse.

Plot: The living dead conquered the Earth almost a century ago, leaving
only small isolated communities of survivors spread across the
shattered-earwig landscape. One such community has been locked away in a
New York City high-rise. Breeding like cockroaches for many generations,
their civilization has almost completely deteriorated into a mess of insane
ones and those infested with parasites that mutate flesh into steel-string
sculptures. There is nothing to live for, no chance for hope. Except for
one man, not yet effected by the parasites, who finds hope after he creates
a wife out of the human body parts that litter the hallways and gets
rescued by a group of zombie-shredding warriors from Japan (where the
citizens have evolved into anime-like mechazoid characters). This
tattoo-illustrated avant-garde novel is rising cult author, Carlton Mellick
III, at his darkest and most horrific.

THE DECADENT RETURN OF THE HI-FI QUEEN AND HER EMBRYONIC REPTILE INFECTION
by Simon Logan

The Hi-Fi Queen is resurrected after almost being killed in an ambush by
another gang and rises once more to claim back the territory that was once
hers. Set in a world of constant gang warfare and corporate subterfuge, she
must first re-brand herself then assemble a new crew to help her in her
fight. Pirate radio broadcasters, graffiti artists, black-marketing men and
skaters alike are all caught up in her quest for revenge, for not only must
the gang be strong ... but it must have a proper marketing campaign to
match.

In "HI-FI QUEEN," Logan takes us deeper into his world of industrial-style
fiction, expanding upon the grounding set forth in his highly successful
underground hit "I-O" and bringing it to another level with threads of
dark, bleak humour.
