Rampaging Fuckers of Everything on the Crazy Shitting Planet of the Vomit Atmosphere: Three Novels [Paperback]

Mykle Hansen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 29, 2008

The Rampaging Fuckers of Everything on the Crazy Shitting Planet of the Vomit Atmosphere is a collection of three short novels by a master of satire. Mykle Hansen's subversive tales capture the smugness of mainstream culture. He thrusts his characters into absurd and humorous situations that reveal the defects in the modern social fabric. With the wit of Christopher Moore, the inventiveness of Terry Gilliam and the rudeness of South Park, Hansen's surreal fiction is ridiculously fun to read. Three Bizarro Novels: MONSTER COCKS: A poignant tragedy of penis enlargement gone horribly wrong. JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF AGNES CUDDLEBOTTOM: A gripping history of the first Starbucks in the anus of an 80-year-old prostitute. CRAZY SHITTING PLANET: A touching parable of love, friendship, and feces.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

"Brilliantly crafted, over-the-top satire. A hilariously biting look at the weakness and frailty of the human species." - THE DREAM PEOPLE

"Mykle Hansen has already proven himself to be one of the great new humorists of our time, in league with Christopher Moore, Terry Prachett, Robert Rankin, and Tom Robbins, only a hell of a lot weirder." - CARLTON MELLICK III, author of The Faggiest Vampire

"It's reminiscent of Jeunet and Caro's Delicatessen with some South Park and straight, old school surrealism thrown in." - GARRETT COOK, author of Jimmy Plush, Teddy Bear Detective

"Even more awesome than all my other incredibly awesome books by me. And I'm not just saying it's awesome because I'm in love with myself. (Although of course I am, because I'm so obviously awesome.) I'm also saying it's awesome because I wrote it." - MYKLE HANSEN, famous author

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Crap! May 26, 2009

By rygeltheXVI

This book is awesome. Just plain awesome.
Actually, I have already passed this book on to two friends of mine.

It's a collection of three short novellas and all three and freakin' hilarious. I was laughing out loud the whole way through this book.

The first one centers around a typical IT guy. He buys some enlargement drugs online and after taking them his member grows and grows until it becomes a monster, detaches from his body, and goes on a murderous rampage.

The second story is about a doctor whose patient is a 90 year old prostitute with constipation. He has developed the technology to shrink down to a small size so that he can literally go inside her butt and explore the problem. It is the first time anything like this has ever been done and causes a media frenzy. Before long a whole crew of tiny people have joined him down there...and that's when things really get weird.

The last story is a really great social satire. The rich people live in human shaped blimps in the sky. Their blimp bodies drop their waste onto the surface of the earth below where the poor people survive off of what they can scrounge.

All three stories were great. I look forward to reading more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satirical Nerdporn Horrorschlock, Not for the Squeamish August 30, 2010

By Sir Charles Panther VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I came to this little gem via Amazon.com's personalization algorithms, which suggested it, given that I'd recently reviewed The Baby Jesus Butt Plug. Well, yeah, the two kind of go together. As soon as I saw the title, I just had to read it, no way around it. Good or bad, I had to see what was inside.

So, you've got three stories here:

1. A corporate IT puke who wants more impressive, ahem, personal hardware, sets in motion a Jekyll-and-Hyde tale that ends in a Godzillian phallocentric apocalypse. It doubles as a highly indulgent tale of the unsung IT hero. There are plenty of arcane sysadmin terms, but knowledge of them is not needed to ascertain that our hero, despite the critical flaw of desperately wanting more man-package, is one electron-jamming wondernerd.

2. A highly graphic colo-rectal Fantastic Voyage, complete with lust, mystery, monsters, intrigue, and military operations (not necessarily in that order).

3. A post-apocalyptic fantasy involving life, love, and longing, all taking place in a world covered in dooky, where it rains from the sky, and the oceans are nothing but.

No, I'm not kidding.

The irony of the first story: biological terrorists unleashing their horror on the world use the immensely inspired vector of men wanting bigger personal plumbing. Gosh, viruses spread by male enhancement come-ons? We're living this already.

The irony of the second story: if such shrinking technology were available, in such an environment, it is not the least bit unreasonable to think that every single one of the manipulative, exploitive elements portrayed in this story would show up to do what they do best, for no one's good but their own.

The irony of the third story: well, you've kind of got me there. And there are pirates and battling!

All in all, this book wasn't nearly as bad as I assumed it would be. All three stories surprised me with depth of character and story, and some good turns of phrase: "...a new era of peace and genital pride dawns...;" "the porn...must flow...;" "...but this rectum needed us. How could we refuse?" among many other jewels, most of them unavailable for inclusion in this venue. Strangely enough, and this is a compliment: man, could I smell the worlds Hansen has created here. I could see them pretty clearly, but more than anything I registered smell. The venues are uniformly unpleasant, and I really did feel better after showering when I read these stories.

As for this being satire, yeah, I can see that. Nike sure does get a grilling, as does the media, personal and corporate greed, lust for fame, vanity, the need for personal possessions, sacrificing innocents for scientific glory, and a whole lot more. Hiltons and Trumps get it pretty good, too (no relation to persons living or dead, of course).

The book read quickly, its 217 pages done in just a couple of hours. A little treasure at the back of this Eraserhead Press release is twelve pages devoted entirely to bizarre fiction. Hoo, buddy, there are some way-out titles here...I think I'll probably order one or two.

Bottom line: this book isn't going to work for most readers, well, for almost all readers. The subject matter is most decidedly adult. While the settings and action are all decidedly unpleasant, there is humor, and the dulled sheen of intellect can be seen through the muck. This is not Milton or Dante, but essentially you're getting the same stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Collection I've Ever Read November 25, 2009

By Spock

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book based on the title alone, and it completely blew me away. All three novellas offer a balanced mix of social satire, gross humor, and madcap surrealism. Each of them is a hilarious, totally off-the-wall adventure that explodes some facet of modern culture (from male enhancement products to the Starbucks invasion) into a bizarre world of its own. You'll laugh your butt off from page one until the end, and you'll likely revisit at least one of the novellas shortly after finishing the book. It's the type of book that can cheer you up in a moment's notice, all the while aiding in your digestion of the cultural absurdities that bludgeon us on a daily basis. A must-read for people who like to laugh.
