Carlton Mellick III
Carlton Mellick III (born July 2nd, 1977) is an author currently residing in Portland, OR. He is the originator of 'avant-punk'; a style of writing combining bizarre punk fantasy with sacrilegious satire. He is currently the chief proponent of the 'bizarro' movement in underground literature with Steve Aylett, Kenji Siratori and D. Harlan Wilson.
His work has been described as dark, surreal, sacrilegious, twisted and intelligent. His novels emphasise nightmarish absurdity and social satire. They explore surreal versions of earth, in current times and imagined futures. Over 80 of his stories have appeared in magazines, online journals, chapbooks, and anthologies, including The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 16.
