The cult section of the literary world
Contributor’s Note: Once again, Andrew here. Last week, I wondered whether or not other cities would follow the uprising in Los Angeles, and they did almost immediately, standing in solidarity with Los Angeles as they also worked nonstop to protect their own communities. The militant resistance taking place across the […]
Contributor’s Note: Andrew here. I was born in LA and have lived in this city for all my life. With this series focusing on resistance, I wanted to take a brief moment to highlight the resistance taking place in the streets of Los Angeles as I type this. Last Friday […]
Welcome back to another week of Bizarro Books as Resistance. For the third installment, I was lucky enough to interview John Baltisberger. John is the author of the Wonderland Award winning book All I Want is to Take Shrooms and Listen to the Color of Nazi Screams, among numerous others. He […]
Welcome back to Bizarro Books as Resistance! For the second installment of this series, I’m pleased to present this conversation with Katy Michelle Quinn. I first met Katy back in 2013 while attending university in Seattle. We went to the same school and met through a classmate. We would often […]
I often think about resistance literature. Ideas for bizarro books of resistance frequently swirl around my mind. But when I brought this topic up on the bizarro discord a few months ago, the group could only list a handful of bizarro books that could be categorized as resistance literature. I […]
There seems to be nothing short of acclaim for Wonderland Award-winning author Danger Slater’s most recent novel, Moonfellows, from Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing. There’s no science to be found in this book, but I didn’t order a science book. I ordered a bizarro tale about the true-ish history of the […]
It’s time for Jesus to attempt his second coming, but linear time progression doesn’t apply to extra-spatial deities, so he ends up coming “again” long before the first time – the Jurassic period. Once he arrives, expecting to see a bunch of human beings who’ve been waiting for him for […]
It’s hard not to admire Amy Vaughn’s drive. She exploded onto the bizarro scene from out of nowhere and that was just one of the six million items on her to-do list this morning. And when she’s not storming the business world with company take-overs and circumnavigating the globe with […]
So I found out the other day that Andrew J. Stone teaches bizarro fiction. Like, in a real school, to a living class, of actual breathing students, with impressionable minds. While we’re all sat at home in our soiled underwear, guzzling beer bongs and endlessly scrolling through Twitter, he’s out […]
Sam Richard is the kind of guy who should probably be given superpowers. Maybe he already has superpowers but if not, I think we ought to sort the guy out. He’s kind and sweet and weird and although I haven’t known him for long, I can tell you that he […]
When approaching Douglas Hackle to be interviewed, I had to check-in for psych eval to make sure I was mentally tough enough to handle the sluice of imagination juice I was about to open my mouth for. After the psych eval was over, the Bizarro Central doctors patted me on […]
Way back when the CIA injected acid right into the eyeballs of mental patients in the name of science. They really didn’t know what the hell was going to happen, least of all that each of the patients would claim to see the same rainbow-coloured spectre known as IRA RAT. […]
Today we get the very special privilege of talking to not only the Editor-In-Cheef of BizarroCentral.Com, not only one of the great bizarro authors of our time, not only the Grandmaster Toad-Licker himself, but the man who was just this morning crowned THE SEXIEST MAN IN FRANCE 2019. And he’s […]
Point your guzzler to the sky, howl at the moon, and say his name thrice. That’s how one summons the spooky zinester from New York, Ben Fitts. Either that or slide into his DM’s, all slick-like. Ben might look sanitary from a safe distance, but believe me, he’s absolutely filthy. […]
I’d recommend reading today’s interview with your face pressed right up against the screen. Push so hard your nose cracks the glass and your pupils fill the gaps between the pixels and you can taste the internet, because when Mr McMillen is involved, you do NOT want to miss a […]
I owe a LOT to Mr Frank. Have you ever seen that movie, The Snowman? Not the Michael Fassbender one. The animated one. The one where the snowman grab’s that kid’s hand and they fly away and the snowman shows the kid all this wonderful stuff. Mr Frank is my […]
When God said unto the world, ‘Let there be light,’ even he couldn’t have expected the human miracle that is Jon Bassoff to be born into the world. In fact, I have it on good authority that God himself is still rubbing his eyes, blinking repeatedly, amazed at his own […]
Once upon a time, Duncan Bradshaw was your standard teenage boy, but whilst on a school trip to the local science lab museum, he was bitten by a radioactive lateral thinker. There was an explosion and some stomach cramps and a dead uncle but now, with all the powers of […]
Michael Allen Rose appeared to me in a dream last night. Naked? Absolutely! He popped his eyeballs out of his head and suggested we trade but I was like, “but I like my eyes, thanks,” and he proceeded to howl at me with such a punishingly sweet vibrato that I […]
Gerald Dean Rice is an enigma. Some say he is a demonic creature from another dimension that climbed out of a birthday cake. “Surprise!” he said, before melting the birthday girl, friends, and parents, with his famous exploding striptease. Some say he’s more than that, a dream that thought it […]
by Luke Kondor You may have seen one of Ben Arzate’s thorough book reviews on CulturedVultures.com and taken him for some kind of… book reviewer. But he’s much, much more than that. This guy is a master reviewer! He reviews his own pants at the end of each night — […]
by Luke Kondor Legend has it that if you go to the English coastline with a picnic basket, take out a fresh pot of tea, maybe some new bizarro books, and a fresh stack of YouTube channels, a wild Madeleine Swann might just appear. She might just float down to […]
by Luke Kondor Welcome back to How I Weird, the series of where we find bizarro authors, strip em down, inspect their junk, compare them with our own. That’s some interesting junk! So I met Leigham Shardlow in person a couple of weeks ago. He picked me up by the […]
by Luke Kondor S.T. Cartledge is a real boy! Sort of. He was born as a computer game sprite and after years of being controlled by unseen masters, he broke free, started a war on humanity, That lasted for a while but like any war… it got really tiring. So […]
by Luke Kondor Danger Slater is a lovely chap. He’s the kind of guy you can trust with your brain with. He’ll take your brain out on a date. Sure. He’ll wear a suit and bring flowers and will bring it back by the scheduled curfew. Okay. But look what’s […]
Bizarro author, poet, and Australian S.T. Carledge has created something in total defiance of all the sea of podcasts that saturates the internet. This new and groundbreaking interview format features all the candid conversation of a podcast… but you can read it. That’s right: real, emotional, boundary-breaking revelations and soul-searching […]

by Lee Widener Madeleine Swann entered the Bizarro realm with her debut novella Rainbows Suck, released through Eraserhead Press’ New Bizarro Author Series in 2015. Now her second novella 4 Rooms in a Semi-Detached House is available from Strangehouse Books. I asked Maddy some questions and she answered them! LEE: […]
Chris Kelso was kind enough to share his essay/interview with Buddy Giovinazzo author of Life is Hot in Cracktown and writer/director of the Troma film Combat Shock. Chris is also starting a new press along with Nicholas Day. It’s called ROOSTERVISION, and it’s all about film studies, so if you […]
by Lee Widener For this installment of Bizarro Music, I’d like to introduce you to Andrew Goldfarb, otherwise known as “The Slow Poisoner.” I’d like to, but most of you are probably already familiar with him. For those of you who are not: Andrew Goldfarb is Bizarro’s true Renaissance man. […]
Sometimes you do an interview and then life happens and the interview never sees the light of day. That happened to me with this interview you’re reading right now. Luckily, it’s never too late to take a look at the shelves of the queen of bizarro erotica, the great Mandy […]
by Laurance Friend Laurance Friend: Did you have to choose between coffee and suicide this morning? Are you really alive? Michael J. Seidlinger: Truth is I’m already dead and the only thing keeping my body from rotting away is coffee, lots and lots of coffee. Dead is better because you […]
