Satan Burger, Carlton Mellick III

I have read a lot of strange books.  Some really strange ones.  But I do believe that, true to its billing, Carlton Mellick III's Satan Burger is about as odd as a book can be while still being intelligible.  It is a sort of science fiction dystopia in which the earth -- a sentient being -- has decided it doesn't like any of its inhabitants (nor does God, and Jesus is working as a janitor in the burger joint run by Satan), and is using their souls to power a giant vulva that transports aliens to earth in massive numbers.  The writing is not especially good, and there are a number of problems with the representations of women, of homosexuality, hell, of humanity as a whole, but the creativity is sustained well throughout.  While Satan Burger is not a great novel, or even a good one, it is consistently interesting.  If you want to read a good, solid drug-trip novel, try Denis Johnson's Already Dead.  If, instead, you want to read a grim, funny, offensive, demented trip of a novel, try this.
