The Steel Breakfast Era: The Decadent Return of the Hi-Fi Queen and Her Embryonic Reptile Infection (Eraserhead Double #3)
"This flip book is a double-barrel shotgun blast of futuristic insanity. Both novellas are a delight, and suck you entirely into their respective unsettling universes. Mellick's is the more surreal, a cross between the mechanized horror of the Japanese filmTetsuo: The Iron Manand the apocalyptic zombie-festDawn of the Dead. He makes it work, and his main characters - however weird - are moving and oddly innocent. Simon Logan, the author of the stunning short story collectionI-O, delivers a blackly humorous, campy-fun tale that still takes some very biting swipes at corporate mentality. In his future world, even street gangs need PR agents and fashion consultants, and the ultimate aspiration is to make it into television - in a weirdly literal fashion. One (or two?) of the most enjoyable books I've read in some time! Raw, exciting imagination run wild." -JEFFREY THOMAS, author ofPunktownandDeadstock
