Fishy-fleshed
Praise for Fishy-fleshed:"Fishy-fleshed is one of those books that has such freedom of language, imagination, and ideas that once you begin reading it, you know you are reading not only fine writing, but a work of genius."--BRUCE TAYLOR, author ofKafka's Uncle"Carlton Mellick kicked my ass, and I have the scars to prove it. Or should I say the scales? Mellick is an author who looks at the universe in fish-eyed wonder, but isn't afraid to throw his readers to the sharks. Read Fishy-fleshed and his teeth will be lodged in your brain forever."--JOHN EDWARD LAWSON, author ofThe Troublesome AmputeeandDiscouraging at Best"In Fishy-Fleshed, Mellick has created a world unlike one ever written before. In Ocean City, the capitol of the New World, everyone possesses the ability to walk on water, clone humans and raise the dead in a land where zombie sharks fly in the air and people reside on the ocean. Cocoan, the narrator, is a child-like man that tells the story through his thoughts via a telapaceiver connected to his brain. Strange, huh? It gets better, folks."--HELLNOTES
