In this, our newest series here on TNBBC, I'm just sniffing around the internet, linking you to some of the weirdest shit I find out there! Help keep this series alive by tweeting me links to the strangest bookish things you stumble across each week!
1. THIS LESBIAN ZOMBIES FROM OUTER SPACE KICKSTARTER
"Sometimes when Hot Girls make out - IT'S EVIL! Get the zom-com comic where a flawed male fantasy becomes a nightmare."
2. THIS KIRK CAMERON CROCODUCK EROTICA
"Kirk Cameron has set up his Pray The Gay Away Camp. He is hoping for it to be a hit Reality TV Show. While most boys are open to letting go of their homosexual ways, JJ a young gay man who practices Chaos Magick has other plans. When JJ finishes his spell and unleashes hot Cheese Jesus, a crockoduck, and Boner Stabone, Kirk Cameron will feel passion and some sexy Growing Pains.
A 7,500 word novellete of hot gay orgy action, involving crockoducks, sexy holy cheese, Chaos Magick, oral sex, anal, clone 69ing, and Stigmata hand sex."
What the duck????
3. THIS MAC SABBATH BAND
"The lineup consists of frontman Ronald Osbourne, who looks like the love child of that clown McDonald and Alice Cooper, a be-tusked Mayor McCheese, an extra demonic-looking Grimace, and a Hamburglar drummer that rocks Peter Criss-style makeup. It’s as if they started printing the Necronomicon on all McDonaldland menus. Describing its sound as “Drive Thru Metal”, the culinary quintet serve up only the finest Sabbath parody jams . “Iron Man” has become “Frying Pan”, complete with the line “All our future is pink slime,” while “Paranoid” has been re-heated as “Pair-a-buns”. "

5. THIS HOMEMADE REMAKE OF THE JURASSIC WORLD TRAILER

HA! I saw that Goodreads comment! You have some nutbars following you. Sometimes, I just don't get them and shake my head. Other times, they totally make my day.
ReplyDeleteWhat is presumptuous about the author pitching the books? I get messages like this all the time and thought that was how it worked. Maybe I need to re-do my blog's policy......I did have one guy who wanted me to review his book and thought I was Maya Angelou!
Oh yeah, you know I get all the crazies. .. the presumption is that I should have my address out there so authors could just ship me unsolicited books all the time. The way she pitched me, it's like she wouldn't have even emailed me... she'd just send 'em on over, regardless of whether I'd actually have an interest in them. I really dislike these kinds of pitches. No thought or reasoning behind it. No personalization behind it at all. Sigh.

DeleteThat's a good point! I have gotten the pitches that are clearly mass emails. Those I don't respond to. Typically, I DO want to know why the author thinks she's a good fit for Grab the Lapels.
DeleteYup! You know, a little bit of "here's why I think my book is right for you/your blog" goes a long way. Hell, this one didn't even bother to look for my NAME. She just defaulted to my blog name. There was no effort there. At all. I don't respond to those either.
