Apeship — Carlton Mellick III

For over 20 years, Carlton Mellick III has been writing some of the strangest and most compelling novels the bizarro fiction genre has to offer. Described as one of the top 40 genre fiction writers under the age of 40 by The Guardian and one of the most original novelists working today by extreme horror legend Edward Lee, Mellick returns with a splatterpunk satire set in the world of Apeshit and Clusterfuck.An intolerable prick takes his weird daughter, his college-aged girlfriend, her douchey brother and her awkward best friend on a boating trip to show off his new yacht. But when they come across an abandoned cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, they find themselves hunted by a group of sadistic mutant killers hell-bent on keeping them as their immortal playthings for all eternity.As violent as it is hilarious, APESHIP is Hellraiser meets The Love Boat with all the camp and gore of a Troma movie.
