Insel der Meerjungfrauen
Ja, es gibt sie wirklich: Meerjungfrauen!
Diese rätselhaften Fischwesen sind äußerst attraktiv, allerdings haben sie eine sehr einseitige Ernährung: frisches Menschenfleisch.
Das kleine Inseldorf Siren Cove ist in Gefahr, denn die dort lebenden Meerjungfrauen machen Jagd auf die Einwohner, anstatt die extra bereitgestellten Futterangebote anzunehmen.
Dr. Black, exzentrischer Mitarbeiter eines Konzerns für menschliches Ersatzfleisch, hat die Aufgabe, das bedrohliche Fressverhalten der Meeresbewohner zu korrigieren – mit katastrophalen Folgen …
Insel der Meerjungfrauen ist wie eine Kreuzung von H. P. Lovecraft und David Lynch – nur viel, viel abgedrehter!

About the author
Carlton Mellick III
119 books2,168 followersCarlton Mellick III (July 2, 1977, Phoenix, Arizona) is an American author currently residing in Portland, Oregon. He calls his style of writing "avant-punk," and is currently one of the leading authors in the recent 'Bizarro' movement in underground literature[citation needed] with Steve Aylett, Chris Genoa and D. Harlan Wilson.
Mellick's work has been described as a combination of trashy schlock sci-fi/horror and postmodern literary art. His novels explore surreal versions of earth in contemporary society and imagined futures, commonly focusing on social absurdities and satire.
Carlton Mellick III started writing at the age of ten and completed twelve novels by the age of eighteen. Only one of these early novels, "Electric Jesus Corpse", ever made it to print.
He is best known for his first novel Satan Burger and its sequel Punk Land. Satan Burger was translated into Russian and published by Ultra Culture in 2005. It was part of a four book series called Brave New World, which also featured Virtual Light by William Gibson, City Come A Walkin by John Shirley, and Tea from an Empty Cup by Pat Cadigan.
In the late 90's, he formed a collective for offbeat authors which included D. Harlan Wilson, Kevin L. Donihe, Vincent Sakowski, among others, and the publishing company Eraserhead Press. This scene evolved into the Bizarro fiction movement in 2005.
In addition to writing, Mellick is an artist and musician.

I have never seen the Pirates of the Caribbean films, but just recently watched them. In the one movie (4th?), there is an absolutely awesome scene with killer mermaids, which led me to this Carlton Mellick story. I haven’t read one of his books in quite awhile, so this was long overdue, and had also been on my to-read list for a long time, too. Much like his other books, this is totally off the wall and insane. Mutating mermaids, tribal cover-ups, fetish seeking fishermen, all mixed in with tons of action, gore, and suspense. It’s just a smashing good time, with a really creative premise. Now I’m a little sad that unofficial first chapter wasnt technically a part of this book. Dr Black is kind of a bland character, and the dynamic of his terminal illness with his daughter (Wasn’t even given a name?!), and his subsequent departure, could have added an awesome layer of depth to his character arc. His illness, Zimmer’s Disease, was also something that felt like it was mostly forgotten in a big chunk between the beginning until the very end. It was a really clever idea that just felt so underdeveloped. And the story is very short, so all of these plot points could have been incorporated smoothly, without dragging anything out. But overall, this is one of Mellick’s less violent and sexual stories, and has a lot more in its favor than not. Whether you are a veteran of his works or a potential reader, this is one book not to miss.

I had no idea that a book about evil mermaids was missing from my life but, there you have it 🧜♀️ 🧩
I enjoy strange stories. Ones where the author thought of an idea or setting etc that's likely never been thought before. This is definitely that kinda story ✅ ⁉️ Totally original and different. The term 'Merchow' needs to be copyrighted immediately!
In this book mermaids feed off of humans. But that's just their nature and they're not to be blamed 😁 So people invented a way for both species to live peacefully together. Until they don't......

No One Is Safe In Open Waters...
It Is Safer Swimming With Sharks
VILLAGE OF THE MERMAIDS
by Carlton Mellick
No spoilers. 3 stars. Dr. John Black had the disease that no one liked to talk about, and everyone on the boat knew...
He was infected...
The passengers all crowded the bow of the ship to get far away from him. He had Zimmer's disease...
It was highly contagious...
He met a young woman named Jackson aboard, who seemed to have no fear of his disease...
Black had only one week left to live. He was using his remaining time to head for Siren Cove...
Black told Jackson it was his job to check on the endangered mermaid population, which never strayed from the cove...
And its food source...
Their food being young human males, sons of the island's fishermen, who were bred as feeder humans for the mermaids...
But, on Siren Cove...
No one was safe in open waters...
It was safer swimming with sharks...
I had high hopes for this story, but it was too busy with too many subplots that droned on with one one outlandish event after another until it was quite unbelievable (even for a mermaid story), and that led to boredom and wanting it to end quickly.
The prologue was exceptionally good. I just would have liked the rest of the story was just as interesting.
LURE by Tim McGregor was a similar but excellent mermaid story.

CARNIVOROUS MERMAIDS?
SERIOUSLY?
I've been waiting my entire life for this book!
Ever since my mother read Andersen's The Little Mermaid to me - (the NASTY version that involves sorrow and death, NOT singing crustaceans!) - I've been fascinated by these half lady/half piscis creatures.
Let's face it, mermaids have always been treacherous sirens, using their feminine wiles to lure sailors to a watery grave, and FINALLY, one author dares to expose them for what they really are....HUNGRY!
Me sohorny hungry! Me love chew on you long time!
The villagers of Siren Cove fear these moist bimbos, and why shouldn't they? Thanks to the Endangered Species Act, mermaids have more rights than the villagers. Killing the fishy broads is illegal, so the townsfolk can do little more than cower in their shanties, hoping to resist the fragrant allure of the mermaids.
This book is chock-a-block with all kinds of stuff you'd probably rather not know, like the Viagra-like effect of mermaid pheromones on the average male. Or, inventive recipes for preparing Merchow. Or, that male mermaids are hung like...well, (sea)horses...
Or, maybe you DO want to know.
If so, read this book. It's a great, though occasionally cringe-inducing, page-turner.

"I can’t have you trying to fuck the evidence every time my back is turned."
Village of the Mermaids
by Carlton Mellick III
Well. Ahem. Not my favorite read in the world. That is on me though.
When I saw this book and read the plot synopsis, I had no idea what I'd be wading into. In this book's case, the writing is great and the story is interesting. There is also quite alot of humor which made it kind of fun. The reason for my low stars is because it is not what I thought it was. I did not know it was horror when I sat down to read it.
I LOVE reading about mermaids, sirens, sea-people. But I like beguiling and eerie stories. The book, " The wicked deep" is the epitome of the type of Sea-Siren book I adore.
This book is far from that and features things I'd rather not read about. I am sure any fan of horror novels involving the sea will adore this. But I just do not like that type of book.
At first, it was going well. Mermaids who eat humans off off a small island and a Doctor who comes to said island to find out why the mermaids have stopped with their usual food supply.
The mermaids are known to drag men under and devour them but they have suddenly stopped eating.
The book has one scene where the doctor uses a tape recorder to record his experience of almost being seduced by a mermaid. I LOVED that scene. It was fascinating. But the book did not stay that route.
You see, there is a new species of mermaids and they are vampiric. I loath reading about vampires. I just do. Not my thing at all.
Neither is cannibalism. OK, yeah, the subject of mermaids pulling guys under water to devour them has a sort of that theme but this book is different. Live people are being lobotomized (sort of) and turned into human food to fed to the mermaids. And the book gets into the weeds on body part descriptions. It was rather gory for my tastes(scratch the "rather").
This was way more science fiction and gory horror, both genres I do not like, then folklore/fantasy, historical, any of the genres I prefer. And it somehow had all the things I do not like in my books. So my issue is not the writing. My issue is I am not the target audience.
I can recommend it to horror..bloody and gory horror purists but for me, it was quite a letdown.

Oh ragazz* io comincio ad adorare quest'uomo (non ditelo a Palahniuk però).
🧜♂️🧜♀️🧜Avete presente Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder e Ursula? Ecco, dimenticateli.....
Le sirene sono un po' come gli unicorni e questo lo pensa anche Carlton, ne sono convinta.

Black (malato di un morbo che ti rende di pongo....ma che cazzo ti sei fumato per tirar fuori sta cosa?), deve capire perché le sirene di Siren Cove non mangiano più i loro "bocconcini",ma cercano i monocromi.....chiedetevi pure che sono sti bocconcini e i monocromi ma io non ve lo dico gne gne...

Some places are infested with mice. Some places are infested with spiders. This island just happens to be infested with killer mermaids who release pheromones into the air which cause men to willingly walk to their death.
The inhabitants of this island have created a system to ward off these mermaids and not disrupt the local ecosystem, but these creatures are evolving rapidly, causing them to become smarter, deadlier and nearly impossible to outsmart. It is now up to our scientist protagonist to figure out what exactly is causing these rapid mutations and along the way he winds up uncovering a dark secret about this remote island and its inhabitants.
This book was decent and learning about this island and its lore was pretty interesting, but at the end of the day it was a bit bland and its climax left much to be desired.
Im giving this book 3 out 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐

"Village of the Mermaids" from 2013 was Mellick's 40th published book, and this is around the time his writing became really good. The story centers around a mysteriously dying doctor who visits an isolated fishing village to help them out with their mermaid problem. But it turns out that bloodthirsty mutant mermaids isn't the only thing that's wrong on the island... The story kinda reminds me of "Tender is the Flesh" mixed with the 2001 horror-comedy movie "Dagon", but with the bizarro factor cranked up to 11. Not top-tier Mellick, but still highly entertaining!

Mermaids are jerks.
I looked up some mermaid legends. Turns out that different cultures have lots of different versions of these creatures.
Greece: This lady got turned into a mermaid, and when a boat was leaving for high seas adventures (why people did this I do not know. I'm terrified that a rental car will break down and I'll have to walk 4 miles. Going away from land for WEEKS? Are you kidding?) she would ask if King Alexander was still alive. If you said yes, she would calm the sea. If you said no, she'd whip up the water. At which point I would have suggested turning around, but suggested it for the 1000th time that day and would have probably been unheeded.
1,001 Nights: Apparently mermaids exist in this text, but they look exactly like humans. They can just live underwater. Which seems like a cool power. BUT, it turns out that they have built some sort of underwater communist society. I knew there was a catch. Lousy commies. Think they can do whatever they want...
Eastern Europe: Mermaids are thought to be the spirits of young women who died, usually violently, before they were married. And they lure men to their death. Also, they live in lakes and streams as well as the ocean. So I guess I need to be more careful when I'm walking past the ditch every time I go to my pizza place. I could be lured in by...wait, no I couldn't. I don't think there's a magical enough, beautiful enough woman in existence to get me to jump into that creek. When that creek is dry, the things at the bottom will chill your bones. Or just make you say, "Why did someone have like 12 computer monitors, and why did they dump them here?"
China: In two mermaid stories, mermaids are returned to the sea. The first is about a man who finds a woman by the sea, and her body is covered by fine hairs. I'm picturing felt. And he marries her, they hang out, and then she's returned to the sea. The second, a guy sees this woman on the beach, gets closer and sees she's got webbed hands and feet, and he carries her back to the water. The end. I don't mean to be too harsh on the folklore of Chinese mermaids, but I feel there's a significant lack of conflict or character development in these stories.
Africa: It would seem that the mermaids of Africa are basically the same as Western mermaids, although they are highly respected as spirits of the water. They too lure men to their deaths. So I guess as I'm being lured to my death by this variety of woman, I'd be more respectful about it. Wear a nice shirt or something.
Japan: There is something called a ningyo that's a fish sort of thing, and eating its flesh will give you a long life. Would I eat mermaid to get a longer life? I guess it depends. Is it a person with a fish body or a fish with a person body? Also, would mermaid sushi taste like fish or like people? I have a lot of questions before I can dive in on this one.
The Little Mermaid: Okay, I know we all know it was Disney-fied. And I've heard lots of people talk about the fact that in the story, in order to be human the mermaid surrenders her tongue AND it will feel like every step on land is like stepping on knives. Which is pretty fucked up. But how about the rest of the story?
So it turns out the mermaid, who becomes human, has to marry the prince before he marries someone else, otherwise she will die of a broken heart. As the prince is already promised to someone else, the mermaid's sisters cut off their hair and trade it for a magic knife that the mermaid can use to KILL THE PRINCE and release herself from the spell or contract or whatever. She says, "Screw it," throws the knife into the sea and then throws herself into sea where she fizzles into foam and then becomes a...well, for all intents and purposes, a ghost.
I'm not much for looking on Facebook to see what exes might be up to. But now I wonder if I shouldn't just make sure that nobody is either buying a magic knife in exchange for hair, and that no one has mysteriously turned into foam. I'm probably flattering myself here, but better safe than sorry.

Ich habe dieses Buch als Hörbuch gehört. Da es hier leider keine Möglichkeit mehr gibt, neue Editionen anzulegen, rezensiere ich die E-Book Version.
Dieses Buch hat mir überraschend gut gefallen! Es war nicht ganz so bunt wie "Die Kannibalen von Candyland" und auch etwas weniger verstörend. Hier fand ich die Mischung deutlich besser.
Die Geschichte ist spannend und auf jeden Fall auch einmal etwas völlig Neues. Mir gefällt der Schreibstil von Carlton Mellick III wirklich gut. Das Buch ist einfach total verrückt, surreal und sehr morbide. Bestimmt ist das nicht für jeden etwas, ich kann euch aber nur empfehlen, es einfach einmal zu versuchen, wenn ihr Lust auf eine abgedrehte Geschichte abseits des Mainstreams habt.
Von mir gibt es 4,5 Sterne und eine klare Leseempfehlung!
Hier folgen einige Infos zum Hörbuch:

This Review is an interesting one for me. It took me a very long time to finish this one. I read alot of CM3, and for some reason this one didn't hit for me. The plot had alot of promise. You have an island completely souronded by man eating mermaids. The main character is a terminally ill doctor who knows the people of this town located on this island. The islanders have devised a way to feed the mermaids, they use brain dead human livestock. That premise sounded very good for a Mellick novella. I ended up setting this one down two times due to it just not landing for me.
May 10, 2015
In the introductory author's note CM3 says its a book about mermaids, how awesome is that? And his version is far from the Disney version, these mutant maids are like the Alien Queen only cuter.
I can only reiterate - how freaking awesome is that??? This book is like a dream come true for me. It's weird. It's visceral and its mind blowingly visual. It felt like I was almost watching the kind of freaky weird B-Movies that I so love. It's like Lovecraft peppered with mutant hybrids - sexy spider mermaids, mermen with drill heads, cannibalism, necrophilia and mutants galore. There's a kind of related bonus story at the beginning which is also superb and a crazy comic strip epilogue which just had me grinning from ear to ear.
This is my first introduction into Bizarro fiction, but certainly won't be my last. Most original work I've read in ages. Freaky weird and just... awesome!
I can only reiterate - how freaking awesome is that??? This book is like a dream come true for me. It's weird. It's visceral and its mind blowingly visual. It felt like I was almost watching the kind of freaky weird B-Movies that I so love. It's like Lovecraft peppered with mutant hybrids - sexy spider mermaids, mermen with drill heads, cannibalism, necrophilia and mutants galore.

"The Little Mermaid" this is not! The mermaids in this book are nasty carnivorous fish who have the power to seduce humans, only to eat them. They are also a protected endangered species, and subsist, for the most part, on merchow, humans specially bred to be mermaid food. But something has gone wrong with this system. The mermaids seem to have lost interest in the merchow and want to feed on regular (assuming anyone in Siren Cove can be considered regular) people, and it's up to Dr. Black, who suffers from Zimmer's Disease, which is turning him into a clay-like substance, to solve the mystery of what is going on. This book is twisted. Very twisted. But it's Carlton Mellick III, so it's a good kind of twisted!

Though the book is of passing quality, it feels like a product of what I consider Carlton's “transition” phase, when he shifted from more abstract writing to straightforward prose. This book was published toward the end of that phase.
Some of the world-building feels pretty random, reminiscent of early works like Satan Burger, and lacks the cohesion found in later stories like The Big Meat.
Overall, it's an okay read. Unless you're a CM3 completionist (like me), I think this one can be skipped.

I'm about to dump my life savings into the sin tin, is all I can say.
I really liked this book, for some unearthly reason. I've read one of Mellick's books before and wasn't wowed, but I was in a mood and thought why the hell not. There was something strangely interesting about the science surrounding the mermaids in this story. Not that the origins are explained, exactly, and the whole food person thing and Doctor Black's disease...what? The characters were all forgettable and the writing style itself contains nothing particularly appealing but I just wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Please, I insist, go hug the hugging doll.

Vom Autor selbst habe ich noch kein Buch gelesen, habe mir aber mit seinem neuerschienenden Titel „Insel der Meerjungfrauen“ viel erhofft … dass es dann so schräg wurde, das habe ich keiner Weise erwartet.
In diesem Buch geht es, wie der Titel schon verratet, um eine Insel voller Meerjungfrauen. Näher gesagt, begeben wir uns an ein kleines Fischerdorf namens Siren Cove. Und ja, diese Wesen existieren wirklich. Sie schwimmen vor sich hin und essen gerne Menschenfleisch. Doch jetzt ist alles anders. Anstatt das Futterangebot der Einwohner anzunehmen, machen die mysteriösen Wesen Jagd auf die Bewohner. Dr. Black begibt sich auf die Insel und stürzt sich in ein gefährliches Abenteuer.
Ehrlicherweise fällt es mir schwer eine Bewertung zu diesem Buch abzugeben. Es ist ein sehr abgespactes Buch, welche alle Grenzen der humanen Vorstellung sprengen wird. Es passieren in der Handlung Sachen, die ich in keinem anderen Buch bisher so gelesen habe. Deswegen ist das Buch “anders“ gewesen. Es wird brutal, pervers, spannend aber auch surreal. Man muss zu dem Buch beim Lesen einfach eine andere Haltung einnehmen. So kann ich mir vorstellen, dass viele Leser*In eventuell Schwierigkeiten haben werden, wenn sie bisher wenig aus dem Horror-Genre gelesen haben. Thriller-Leser, die schon die brutalsten und perfidesten Killer kennengelernt haben, sollten eigentlich keinerlei Probleme hier haben. Meiner Meinung nach, muss man sich auf die Geschichte einlassen können und am Ende für sich selber feststellen, ob das Buch dem eigenen Geschmack entspricht oder nicht.
Für mich persönlich war somit dieser Horror-Roman etwas Neues – ein Buch, welches abseits meiner Komfortzone lag. Die Erfahrung war es auf jeden Fall wert, auch wenn es an manchen Stellen für mich too much war. Dennoch finde ich die Idee hinter dem Buch gut konzipiert und es hat irgendwie Spaß gemacht, sich nach Siren Cove zu begeben.
Fazit: „Insel der Meerjungfrauen“ ist ein Buch, welches für mich persönlich sehr abgespact war, dennoch vom Konzept her, sehr interessant gestaltet war. Ich empfehle dieses Buch jedem Leser/jeder Leserin, die einmal eine schräge Lektüre, wobei das Adjektiv “schräg“ nicht negativ konnotiert ist, lesen wollen. Ich bewerte das Buch somit mit 3,5 Sternen, Tendenz nach oben.

Mermaids are an endangered species and protected. The villagers can’t kill a mermaid without fear of the death penalty. But when mermaids begin to kill the fisherman, it brings frustration and problems to the island. Doctor Black is brought in from the mainland to find the reason as to why the mermaids are ignoring the food source provided to them. What he discovers is a problem bigger than he imagined.
This book is a bit of a mystery mixed with bizarro. Why are the mermaids suddenly not interested in their food source and attacking the humans? That’s the big question. There is a lot to unravel and the layers of discoveries are staggering.
The problems go so much deeper than just the mermaids. There are multiple things happening on this island that the villagers need help with….but there are also secrets they don’t want to reveal either.
It definitely has the bizarro element when you hear about these different mutated creatures that Doctor Black encounters. We aren’t talking about your typical siren-esque mermaids here 😂
I liked this book, but I wanted so bad to LOVE this book. That being said, it’s entertaining, it’s a quick 1 day read and it’s about mutated mermaids for cryin out loud!

Mellick delivers as always! Village of the Mermaids is a gnarly twist on the lore that we grew up learning. These mermaids are killers... and they are protected by a government agency aimed at preserving life of endangered species. Entire ecosystems and food chains have been instituted to keep these mermaids alive... but soon they start to change... and everything we are just finding out is already out the window!
Village of the Mermaids has quite a bit of humor thrown into it - which I definitely loved. But I also LOVED the vampiric mermaids and the arachnid mermaids we start seeing! Oh, and mermen! YIKES! Fans of mermaids and nautical horror NEED THIS BOOK! 4.5 stars!

Non so se avete mai avuto a che fare con la Bizzarro Fiction. Io non avevo mai letto nulla di questo genere, e sono rimasta basita e sconvolta fin dal primo capitolo. È stata una lettura assurda e allucinante, così come preannunciava di essere nell'introduzione iniziale a cura dell'autore stesso.
Il genere riunisce in sé caratteristiche molto diverse, passando dall'urban fantasy all' horror, dal gotico alla tragicommedia, dal grottesco allo splatter, passando per l'assurdo, spesso al limite della pornografia ma senza scadere nel volgare, surreale ma sempre e comunque divertente da leggere. Ma non è una semplice accozzaglia di cose a caso, tutto si basa su una logica, "da cartone animato" ma comunque una logica, che viene sistematicamente applicata per creare un universo coerente in cui le assurdità acquistano concretezza.
Le protagoniste di questo racconto sono le sirene: feroci predatori di esseri umani, ma al contempo specie protetta dal governo.
Il Dottor Black, benché malato terminale del morbo di Zimmer, deve recarsi per un emergenza di lavoro sull'isola di Siren Cove: le sirene di quel luogo hanno smesso di nutrirsi delle esche che la sua ditta produce. Ma il problema sarà del prodotto, o c'è qualcosa che non va nella popolazione di sirene?
Da quando il dottore arriverà sull'isola avrà luogo una catena di eventi assurda, bizzarra, grottesca, al limite dell'immaginabile. Impossibile immaginare il finale, impossibile immaginare perfino gli eventi della pagina dopo. Buona lettura!

REVIEWED: Village of the Mermaids
WRITTEN BY: Carlton Mellick III
PUBLISHED: April, 2013
Village of the Mermaids is about an Island town surrounded by carnivorous mermaids, which the local citizens are not allowed to kill, under threat of execution, per the Endangered Species Act.
Biting government satire, survivalist thrills, mystery, and horrible, horrible man-eating mermaids, this novel is not for the weak-of-heart, but IS for those who appreciate reading something strange and beautiful that they would not find anywhere else.
It’s a funny, fast-paced story. Like all of Mellick’s work, I enjoyed this, though I wouldn’t consider it one of his best novels. That being said, it’s quite fine on any level. The talent of Carlton is that he can take the most ridiculous-sounding premises and, in a unique and smart maneuvering, craft very entertaining tales that are both outlandish and highly literary.
As an aside, the opening prologue is a chapter which was removed from the book as it didn’t “fit,” but is the strongest element of the book overall, emotionally tragic. Reading it in advance gave me character insight into the doctor's character.
Four out of Five stars

Bin total überfordert mit meinen Gedanken. Ehrlich gesagt hab ich nicht viel erwartet vom Buch aber heiliges BimBam... das Buch war echt gut... gruselig und stellenweise sehr ekelig und mega skurriel aber einfach ein gutes Buch.
Das Vorwort war einfach mega. Was ich auch mega fand war statt einem Nachwort der kleine Comic.
Ich werde mich bald an ein anderes des Autors trauen.

Recensione completa su Peccati di Penna
Una lettura breve e di impatto che tiene buona compagnia e funge da break tra letture lunghe e magari più "classiche".
Le creature trattate ne Il Villaggio delle Sirene sono tutto tranne che le sirene che si è soliti immaginare, e c'è molto di più.
Nella fantasia di questo racconto ho intravisto anche delle tematiche sempre attuali come la salvaguardia delle specie, gli effetti dell'inquinamento sulla fauna e qualche riferimento ai tipi di alimentazione.
Non so, io ho percepito una forte caricatura degli argomenti che spesso si sentono trattati di giorno in giorno, ma potrebbe essere una mia impressione. In ogni caso, è un elemento che ho apprezzato, la rielaborazione del reale la trovo sempre interessante.
Le note originali non mancano, oserei dire in bilico tra genialità e follia, ma trattandosi di Bizzarro Fiction non potevo aspettarmi di meno. ...continua

It has been a minute since I’ve read a Carlton Mellick book and maybe this was just the perfect one but I loved this.
It felt like a twilight zone epsiode in the best possible way.
Some of the highlights to me (Spoiler ish)
- Zimmers disease (slowly turning into clay from externally to internal) seems horrific. Personally I had imagined a very Junji Ito visual when Jackson had competed the spirals on Dr Black.
- the mutations of the mermaids and mermen. The concept of becoming arachnoid in nature to get out of the water, when we thought it was more vampiric - just *chefs kiss*
- the ESS, being comprised of a Frankenstein version of the species they protect? Like an absolutely amped up version of government controlled PETA.
-the food people and the village turning to cannibalism (ish) when the mermen sunk the boats. What a concept of a punishment, loosing your mind and turning into cattle feed basically.
All in all I loved this, and felt overall this, while bizarre and sort of extreme, could absolutely be taken as a mainstream sort of thing ala black mirror episode. No notes at all.

Prendete La Maschera di Innsmouth di Lovecraft. Fatto? Bene. Ora levate gli uomini pesce, e aggiungeteci delle sirene mangiatrici di uomini (in tutti i sensi che vi vengono in mente). Andiamo avanti, ora aggiungeteci che le sirene sono una specie in via di estinzione e quindi protetta da un ente spietato che ripaga vita con vita, in pratica se uccidi una sirena ti becchi la pena di morte, sic et sempliciter. Ah si ci sono i "bocconcini", ma non posso dirvi cosa sono senza fare spoiler, c'è il villico che ama le sirene (in tutti i sensi che vi vengono in mente), soprattutto quelle giovani, c'è una giovane ragazza alla ricerca di suo padre apparentemente scomparso nel nulla, e c'è un dottore che pensa di non avere più nulla per cui vivere, almeno finchè...
Leggetelo, ne vale la pena.

una bellissima satina NERA
UN DARK FANTASY con carini sputi di riflessione su cosa definisce un'essere umano e sull'ambiente
Le sirene difese da un'associazione di veri e propri nazi-ambientalisti con un potente potere polito
molto breve 80 pagine ma lo consiglio per chi vuole qualcosa di ORIGINALE SCRITTO BENE E VELOCE MA CHE FACCIA PENSARE
Sicuro recupero altro della Antonio Tombolini Editore ;)

Primo libro che leggo di Bizarro Fiction. È scritto benissimo e si fa leggere di un fiato, però è troppo esplicito e troppo votato a provocare un senso di ribrezzo nel lettore perché possa farmelo piacere. Non so se leggerò mai altro dell'autore o del genere.

Morbide und leicht verrückt. Einfach anders eben.
Einmal schafft es der Autor eine Art Kunstwerk zu erschaffen.
Sowohl etwas verstörend, als auch unterhaltsam.
