Ass Goblins of Auschwitz by Cameron Pierce
3.0
OMG! WTF! ASS GOBLINS OF AUSCHWITZ by Cameron Pierce FTW. What the HELL what that? I though I had read Bizarro before until I read Pierce. ASS GOBLINS could easily define the genre. Part fairy tale, part fable and all whacked out this story pushes the limits of imagination. The story is a tour de force of mind bending,oddball, off beat and down right pondeorus adventure.
Its a story of oppressive monsters (who happen to be shaped like giant grotesque buttocks with a flair for Nazi swag) who take away the lives of children as redemption for their own lost youths. Not even the children escape the bizarro treatment in this story. There are giant apples, toilet toads, wall of chocolate cake and bicycles made from parts of discarded children. And that just scratches the surface.
The all the strange being thrown at you from every angle underlies some very real perspectives on life and politics. This is at its heart a fable and a fairy tale. It not hard to replace some of the harsher images presented and superimpose unicorns and princes. In the end you find that Cameron Pierce is not only oddly brilliant but also human. Like the rest of us.
If it's Bizarro you want, read ASS GOBLINS and it's Bizarro you will get. No book has yet to stand as a pillar of the genre near as much as this one does.
