Review by: Scott Crowder on Nov. 29, 2011 :
I had never read any Bizarro fiction before Slag Attack came to my attention, and now I'm torn. Is Mr. Prunty the best Bizarro author there is, or is it all this good? Slag Attack is a juggernaut of a novel that hits the ground running and doesn't let up until the very last sentence, bringing us the stories of people living through the end of the world, or trying to, anyway. The stories interrelate with each other beautifully and unpredictably, leading the reader from one end of the apocalypse to the other while ordinary people become heroes, heroes become villains, and villains become robots. Mr. Prunty's imagination works in ways far beyond the ordinary writer's, making illogical and seemingly nonsensical ideas work together like the gears in a clock (the savior of mankind living in a detective's hollowed-out eye socket, a woman whose uncontrollable need to shout out the names of rock stars forestalls the apocalypse, a man who drills a hole in his own head and installs a car antenna so that he can hear what regular people can't). I'm glad I found Mr. Prunty's fiction and I look forward to reading more of it. To top it all off, it's free, at least for today, so you're doing yourself a grave disservice by not reading it immediately. Congratulations, Mr. Prunty, on such a fantastic story!
