HePetey is having nightmares and flashbacks of horrifying commercials. A cereal called Fruit Fun where the mascot is a girl bunny called Berry Bunny. He learns as a kid he saw the commercials for real. A group of kids sitting around the breakfast table slurping down Fruit Fun. However, instead of fruit flavored bits, the cereal is real miniature children. Petey's father witnesses him almost being pulled into the commercial.
Seems Fruit Fun is back along with Berry Bunny. Petey and his three friends manage to get pulled into the commercial and become trapped. Can Petey escape the bunny before he becomes breakfast fuel with 13 different vitamins in it?
I agree with Mellick on the 80s kids thing. We had weird commercials, cartoons, clothes, hairstyles, and toys. We rocked weirdness like no other decade....more
Franklin Pierce watched his brother and sisters die by the wicked fangs of a Candy Woman. He has vowed to hunt them down and kill as many as possible Franklin Pierce watched his brother and sisters die by the wicked fangs of a Candy Woman. He has vowed to hunt them down and kill as many as possible in revenge. He gets the chance one evening when he witnesses an attack. Following the Candy Person back through the sewers he discovers a whole candy land. Unfortunately for him, he is captured by the same Candy Woman that killed his siblings. Even worse he is now her submissive and mating partner.
No idea what I just read, but I love it! I need more of this in my life. Only Mellick can bring us cannibal candy creatures wrapped up in a delicious love story of when opposite species attract. I think Mellick answered that age old question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop ...more
Well well well. This bizzaro read has hidden layers. You have to pull back the layers of the story to get to the message underneath. What I got from iWell well well. This bizzaro read has hidden layers. You have to pull back the layers of the story to get to the message underneath. What I got from it was to truly love someone you have to know and accept them for who they really are. Flaws and all. If we really dissect ourselves and hold our different layers to the light, the things that make us who we are, we would find some of them ugly, beautiful, mean, breathtaking, shiny, and a touch of crazy. All those lovely pieces that make us who we are as a whole person. Who knew Mellick would have me pondering deep thoughts on a Thursday afternoon.

This was some serious good writing. I felt like I was wrapped up in the madness that was Iris. Very good read.

The world is in its final days. Few p The last grocery store in the world. It stands alone in the middle of a vast wasteland that was once our world.
The world is in its final days. Few people survived, and the ones who did are left to starve in this barren wasteland. There is only one beacon of hope for our small band of survivors, and it is the grocery store on the hill. Not just any grocery store, but one that comes alive every night at the same time. The lights come on, the shelves are stocked, and ghostly customers wander the aisles making their selections. That is when our survivors can enter to shop for their needs. They have to be fast because soon armed gunmen will enter the store and start killing everyone at random. Once everyone is dead, the store returns to empty. This scenario plays out night after night. What happened in the past that has made the store imprint and alter reality? What happens if you don't make it out of the store in time? Why is the one guy obsessed with the lady in blue? Highly recommend!

The air is lethal, there are weird sounds in the wind, and never mind the things coming up with the waves. Carlton weaves a strange, toxic world like no other. Even when things are outlandish, you simply shrug it off because it really works with what is going on in the story. Highly recommend!

I didn't see the point of the drawings, and the poetry was awful. Lucky, there were a few excellent tales in there to redeem itself. The cover is fantastic and deserved a star by itself. Maybe if my Krispy Crème doughnuts resembled this, I would lose a few pounds.
