Electric Jesus Corpse
by Carlton Mellick, III
Category: Fiction

The story of the messiah, Jesus Christ, thrown into a chaotic and surreal version of modern day Earth where: people naturally turn into zombies after they die and are left to roam the countryside forever, greasers are evil dictators that have taken over America, vodka is the most powerful substance in the world, and flesh is slowly mutating into machine. The story follows Christ's twelve apostles. However, in this world the apostles are pimps, necrophiliacs, skinheads, and other assorted freaks. And they have no desire to follow Jesus Christ on his crusade to save humanity whatsoever. So this novel follows the lives of these never-been apostles on their separate epic journeys into the bizarre. An awkward and chaotic work of art (or perhaps garbage), that is like nothing you've ever seen.
