Death Machines of Death by Vince Kramer [Book]
April 6, 2014 Leave a comment
All machines suddenly come to life for some reason and go on a rampage to kill every human being on the planet. It’s kind of like that movieMaximum Overdrive, only ten time as fucking brutal!
Welcome to the Big Old Gaylord Opryland Resort! Do you lack the energy to get a date? Are you batshit insane and looking for a cure? Are you a pants-shitting senior who wants to stop being old? Do you hate Stephen King? Then, this weekend, there’s a seminar for you! Sure, there’s a comet flying through space bringing all machinery to life and killing everybody, but don’t worry about that! Here, have a sandwich! Visit our many attractions! See our massive convention center (of death), our beautiful atrium (of death), and our arcade (of death)! Ignore the massive senior citizen orgy. Don’t talk to the kid in the wheelchair. We guarantee the elevator will not transform you into a cyborg. Mr. Coffee isn’t trying to kill you. And there is absolutely nothing suspicious going on in the basement. (Don’t go down there though, seriously).
Take a load off, have a good time, and prepare to die!
Death Machines of Death is an apocalyptic horror comedy by Vince Kramer that just so happens to be a million times better than anything you’ve ever read before. And if you think for one minute that those boring literary classics like The Great Gatsby or Moby Dick are better than this, then you’re fucking stupid!
What the hell really needs to be said about this book? The motherfucker is called Death Machines of Death!!! How cool is that shit right there? With a title likes this, there is absolutely no chance in hell that this isn’t going to be fantastic, which is most definitely is. I don’t know if I have literally laughed out loud whilst reading a book like I did when I was reading this one. It is hilarious, it is gruesome, it is just so much fun! It’s like Maximum Overdrive for the rest of us, the ones who veer towards the absurdity over the thrills. And I truly believe that if Vince Kramer had decided to veer from is incredibly unique style of bizarro narrative, it really would have been pretty boring. But, with Vince Kramer behind the keypad, boredom is something you will never have to worry about.
I have not quite entirely explored the world of Bizarro fiction, but I do find it absolutely intriguing. Of all the titles I have noticed, it seems to be an absolutely fascinating take on the world of fantasy and science fiction. And in my own personal opinion, makes it not so god damned boring. In Kramer’s work alone, there is no reasoning and explanations for such bizarre shit to happen such as a gaggle of masturbating senior citizens or bowie knife swindling Jesus. It just happens! And it is awesome! Say what you will about this strange style of writing, but even Stephen King could never hold my attention this well. Just have some fun with this shit people!
Loyal readers of TWS may remember Vince Kramer from a Guest Wreckers feature we posted last year about Pornographic Action Figure Erotica (Noobs- please report here, and get on our level, maggots). And just as he can do with toys, Vince uses his words the make the obscure and deranged just a shitload of fun. Last year I also introduced myself to his work with his debut novel Gigantic Death Worm, which I also highly recommend. Both of Kramer’s books are short in nature, but cram packed with excitement and hilarity. To put it simply, Vince Kramer creates some of the tastiest junk food for the brain you will ever taste.
Pick up your own copy of Death Machines of Death at AMAZON. And while you are there, find Gigantic Death Worm. Get them both because, once you finish one, you are definitely going to be begging for more, you truly sick son of a bitch.
