Fiction | The Bedlam Files

BILLY THE MOST HORRIBLE BOY IN THE WORLD

Quite possibly the finest children’s book that nobody knows about

A somewhat early novel by the inimitable Ed Wood, drafted before alcoholism permanently addled his brain and writing abilities

This, I feel, is the book the famed (and also dreary and excruciatingly self-important) A MONSTER CALLS should have been

Not a very good book, I’m afraid, although RESURRECTION DREAMS is an enjoyable enough goof

The only published novel by the famous beat poet Kirby Doyle, HAPPINESS BASTARD was composed on a continuous teletype scroll of paper in 1959-60

This posthumous collection of short fiction and essays by the late Charles Willeford is far from the great man’s best work

One of the more curious products of the horror boom, NIGHTS WITH SASQUATCH is a paperback original from 1977

A reasonably enjoyable flashback to the earliest days of TWIN PEAKS mania, courtesy of the 22 year old Jennifer Lynch

A novel that reads like a Philip K. Dick potboiler with a hard science overlay

Here we have the stuff of which bestsellers used to be made: a vastly overwritten sex and violence packed spectacle!
