From the Back Cover
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.

Store description
Uncle Hugo's started in 1974 and Uncle Edgar's in 1980 in different store fronts. Both stores moved into a much larger location in 1984. Rioters burned that location to the ground on May 30, 2020, wiping out over $1 million in books. In August, 2022 we reopened a new brick-and-mortar store at 2716 E. 31st St., about 2 miles east of our old location.
