Product DescriptionSad stories from a surreal world. A fascist mustache. A desert inside a dead cat. The ghost of Franz Kafka. Primordial entities mourn the death of their child. The desperate serve tea to mysterious creatures. A hopeless romantic falls in love with a pterodactyl. From a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles where robotic gargoyles are law, to a blighted suburbia where the elephant god Ganesh seeks revenge on a man and his android wife, Cat Brain Land is a place of domestic despair and nightmare foreboding. Where sirloin steaks enroll in daycare and ex-lovers return as tiny dolls. This is a land of camel people and the Lord of Meat. The farther into Cat Brain Land you get, the more difficult it will be to get out.

Clark, World Fantasy Award-winning artist and author of Boneyard Babies__"Cameron's weird-as-hell imagination bleeds through every page with a syrupy thickness like no other author I've read." - David Agranoff, author of The Vegan Revolution...with Zombies__ "The love child of Thomas Ligotti and Alejandro Jodorowsky." - Nicole Cushing, author of How to Eat Fried Furries__"It's a completely shitting all-consuming mind fuck of a book that is disturbing and brilliant [...] This guy makes Douglas Adams look like a fuzzy white rabbit." - STC Literature"Cameron Pierce's wacky and brilliant imagination will take you for a ride you will not soon be forgetting." - Esteban Silvani, Dark Recesses

Product DescriptionA demented fairy tale about a pickle, a pancake, and the apocalypse. It is Gaston Glew's sixteenth Sad Day - the sixteenth anniversary of the saddest day of his life: his day of birth - and his parents have just committed suicide. Fed up with the sadness of Pickled Planet, Gaston Glew builds a rocket ship and blasts off into outer space, hoping to escape his briny fate. Meanwhile, on Pancake Island, Fanny Fod, the most beautiful pancake girl in the world, nurses a secret sadness as she guards the origin of all happiness: the mysterious Cuddlywumpus. When Gaston's rocket ship crash-lands in the sea of maple syrup that surrounds Pancake Island, nothing will ever be the same for him, or for Fanny Fod. Captain Pickle says: "Unchain yourself from this briny fate, oh pickled prisoner, and read Cameron Pierce's The Pickled Apocalypse of Pancake Island: A Tragedy for People Who Eat Food!" From the Inside Flap"Weird, wicked, wonderful." - PIERS ANTHONY, New York Times bestselling author of the Xanth series "A most definite fractured fairy tale. (And my favorite book title of all time.)" - S. G. BROWNE, author of Breathers and Fated "Dr. Seuss meets David Cronenberg." - CARLTON MELLICK III, author of Satan Burger and The Faggiest Vampire__ "...a very sweet and hopeful book, romantic and emotional and touching and funny." - MYKLE HANSEN, author of Help! A Bear is Eating Me__"Pierce is one of the weirdest, most imaginative writers around." - LLOYD KAUFMAN, director of The Toxic Avenger and Poultrygeist "Before he goes gently into that weird night by spontaneously combusting, Pierce seems hellbent on writing his fill of Bizarro lit. His tales include many standard tropes, like pickles and pancakes falling in love, or ass-shaped goblins who abduct children for slave labor and eating, or flying Biblical sharks. It's a scene." - CRACKED.COM
