Hilarious and horrific, Jeff Strand's Dead Clown Barbecue is what might happen if "Weird Al" Yankovic wrote and directed an episode of Tales From The Crypt. I loved every sentence. My favorite stories were "Pett Semmuteary," "The Pregnancy Test," and "Drain Brammage," but they're all really, really good and really, really funny. One of the unique things about Strand's works is that he is incredibly in touch with his inner childhood fears. Whenever he writes kids, he perfectly captures childhood "logic" in terms of what they worry about. "Drain Brammage" is the best example of his talent here. Well worth your time. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A man who finds a severed nose on a plate on his dining room table. A bell that can summon Satan (maybe). Casual Fridays at work that get out of control. A cheery outlook on the post-apocalyptic landscape. The final thoughts of a doomed skydiver. A girl punished by having to share a bed with her grandmother's corpse. Revenge via baking a tarantula into a cake. A romance between two carnivorous genetically enhanced plants. And the lost tale of Fangboy. These are only a few of the demented stories in DEAD CLOWN BARBECUE, a collection of twenty-nine gleefully macabre tales, seven of which were written just for this collection. There's even a brand new one about a ventriloquist dummy. Those things creep you out, right? You'll laugh. You'll scream. Okay...you probably won't actually scream, unless you already had issues before you started reading, but you might cringe and get a little spooked. "No author working today comes close to Jeff Strand's perfect mixture of comedy and terror." - Richard Chizmar, Cemetery Dance Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

If you have a particular taste (I avoid the snarky remarks of others who may say "or lack thereof") a new book by Jeff Strand is always reason to celebrate. For the time you wander around in Jeff's world you can be sure that you will repeatedly (l) laugh at something so inappropriate and twisted that you cannot tell anyone what you were laughing at (2) wince at something so awful and well described that it comes very close to causing actual pain (3) stop and think about a profound moment hidden in thick humorous satire (4) be amazed at how good a writer Strand is while at the same time wonder how someone so funny could also be so twisted. If you like the irreverent humor of David Sidaris but also enjoy horror, if you don't take yourself or literary conventions very seriously, and if you want to read an author that really pushes the edge of good taste (or more like jumps squealing with glee over that precipice) then you need to give Strand a try.
