Mike – I think they compare bizarro books to cult movies just because that’s the closest thing to them. I don’t think they do this to intentionally appeal to the fan boy. It’s just an easy way to describe it. To make it easier, they should just describe bizarro as “weird and funny,” because that’s what they are going for and it makes more sense.

instead of “asshole” maybe “asshat” because it is visually and even sort of sonically closer to “aesthete”. Not that I’m calling you an asshat, just trying to help you on your way to what we might call the “objectively funniest ass-based joke from the word ‘aesthete’ “.

i am actually such an aesthete (or should that say “asshole” ?) that i have been completely turned off to anything associated with the “bizarro fiction movement” based exclusively on aesthetic factors– the covers are almost always decent photographs set within stupid layouts with shitty fonts, and the manifesto (LOL IF YOU LIKE CULT MOVIES YOU’LL LOVE THIS SHIT!) actually made me embarrassed to own a copy of Satan Burger, so I quickly gave it to a friend. I don’t know, I mean, does anybody else have this problem? This sort of “in-built/intentional sense of appealing to the fanboy mindset” has honestly kept me away, when I’m pretty sure there would be shit that I would be into buried within.

Cool. I bought a promo copy of Sex Dungeon at the Strand last summer. It has some sentimental value for me. I haven’t read all of it, but I like it a lot.
