"The mind-twisting prose is a perfect compliment to Alan Clark's surreal, gorgeous artwork. Diagnosis: terminally weird." -- Poppy Z. Brite

An Unforgettable Journey,
By Alan M. Clark (Eugene, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pain & Other Petty Plots to Keep You in Stitches (Paperback)
In Pain and Other Petty Plots, Alan Clark has created a masterpiece of biological and psychological dysfunction that will leave the reader's relationships with hospitals forever scarred. Through a stunning array of paintings and stories, some written by collaborators, Clark guides the reader on an unforgettable journey through his sly and cruel mythos about a medical facility staff in the service of pain. Surrealistic torment and human folly serve as the foundation for a unique vision that disturbs while it amuses, and ultimately serves as a warning on the limitless possibilities for self-destruction in all of us. Perfect company for those long waits in doctor's offices or hospital clinics. A must for ER visits. -Gerard Houarner, author of THE BEAST THAT WAS MAX; ROAD TO HELL; VISIONS THROUGH A SHATTERED LENS

Outrageous, irreverent fun!,
By Liz (Eugene, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pain & Other Petty Plots to Keep You in Stitches (Paperback)
PAIN AND OTHER PETTY PLOTS TO KEP YOU IN STITCHES is an amazing, visually delicious book. The authors and artist have created a wildly eccentric universe where bizarre is normal. Only with creativity freewheeling at its fastest could these images and stories emerge.
