Absurd philosophies, dark surrealism, and the end of the human race . . .
God hates you. All of you. He closed the gates of Heaven and wants you to rot on Earth forever. Not only that, he is repossesing your souls and feeding them to a large vagina-like machine called the Walm - an interdimensional doorway that brings His New Children into the world. He loves these new children, but He doesn't love you. They are more interesting than you. They are beautiful, psychotic, magical, sex-crazed, and deadly. They are turning your cities into apocalyptic chaos, and there's nothing you can do about it ...
Featuring: a narrator who sees his body from a third-person perspective, a man whose flesh is dead but his body parts are alive and running amok, an overweight messiah, the personal life of the Grim Reaper, lots of classy sex and violence, and a motley group of squatter punks that team up with the devil to find their place in a world that doesn't want them anymore.

About the Author
Carlton Mellick III is one of the leading authors in the new BIZARRO genre uprising. In only a few short years, his surreal counterculture novels have drawn an international cult following despite the fact that they have been shunned by most libraries and corporate bookstores. Though frequently compared to David Lynch, Kurt Vonnegut, and even Lloyd Kaufman, Carlton Mellick III is unlike anyone you’ve experienced before. He sings for the band "Popes That Are Porn Stars" in Portland, OR.
Customer Reviews
The book that started it all...
Carlton Mellick penned Satan Burger at age 22 and proved that he was one of the funniest, freshest and most original young authors of the Bizarro genre.
Satan Burger is a great starter book for readers who are unfamiliar with Mellick's twisted prose.
Fans of Franz Kafka will revel in the splatterpunk mayhem that ensues.
Mellick is an author to watch out for.
Poorly written, trite and just plain boring
I don't normally write reviews but i thought I should warn you. Dont buy this book. It reads like an angsty high school students journal. I bought this after being recomended it by many people on amazon. I like choke and survivor and easton ellis and all that but this is whack.
I love this book!
This is the story of punks in a chaotic wasteland of the future. It is the story of God closing the gates of Heaven and turning His back on mankind. It is the story of hell going out of business, forcing Satan to come to Earth with hopes of success in the fast food industry by opening his own chain called Satan Burger. This book is a comedy. It is also a science-fiction horror story. If you like interesting writing, imaginative worlds, weird characters, and pages upon pages of interesting factoids on a universe that doesn't really exist, then Satan Burger is the book for you.
