[close] Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. Part of a countercultural alignment, we read the stuff in part because it's different in unexpected ways. Come join us if not being a part of anything is your thing too. That way we can all non-conform together.
