1) Paperback Book Piecemeal June by Eraserhead Press. Everyone wants June. Every single piece of her...
Jordan Krall´s Piecemeal June is a short and intense rollercoaster ride, with a good dosing of breathless dizzy nausea, compelling one to the back of the line, to wait for yet another turn.
The story flows nicely through the atmosphere of the accepted bizarre and deranged like a steamboat on a lollypop lake. The decadent and the profane jostle for the same sticky-sweet deck space. Who knows who June wants to curl up to when it has all been said and bludgeoned. Can June give herself, bodies and souls to her lovers?
Highly original and masterfully executed. Piecemeal June does what a great story should do: entertains, amazes, stretches your imagination and forces you to ponder what you had just ingested.
Jordan Krall does a fantastic job in keeping this wonderfully insane story fast-paced, but still focused, contained, not letting the popping visuals run hell-bent for high water. Jordan keeps it all neatly together and precisely connected with his nicely controlled writing style.
Jordan Krall is one sick puppy just screaming his way to the top of my favorite writers list, as is the whole genre, if truth be told (and why not?)
What the hell, folks, maybe print isn´t completely dead. Not with writers and stories like these.
I await with bated breath for his next one: Squid Pulp Blues.PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale¤

2) Paperback Book Piecemeal June by Eraserhead Press. There´s something drippy, oozy, and wet about this novella.
A few things you should know right off the bat.

1. It´s a quick read. I read like a snail. I´m not a fast reader by any stretch. I killed this in two sittings. I could have easily done it in one.

2. It can be graphic and explicate at times. Nothing crazy, but no, not tame either. Much of the plot even revolves around pornography, and the adult porn industry.

Now for some good things. (What, porn ain´t good?)

I didn´t think I´d like it at all. I don´t like violence, horror, or anything too graphic.
It touched on these elements, but never really went there.
Also, it was brisk, and I liked how ´to the point´ it was. I´m a big fan of flash fiction, so trust me when I tell you, its page count was a blessing to me.

There are other reviews that can tell you exactly who Mr. Krall´s talents ape. It struck me as fairly unique, but I must tell you, I´m VERY particular with my fiction. The closest thing it resembled to me is Carlton Mellick III.

I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I´ve read some Bizarro that others loved, but I just couldn´t get into. I liked this.

3) Paperback Book Piecemeal June by Eraserhead Press. King Dallas: "Ask not what your body can do for you, ask what I can do with your body."

Piecemeal June is a fast-paced, hilarious and entertaining book by bizarro newcomer, Jordan Krall. It´s an extremely well-written novella filled with realistic dialogue and also packed with sensual details that both stimulate as well as provoke the gag reflex - a few parts really grossed me out, and with me that is not easy to accomplish. I found the characters in the book to be highly likeable as well, despite a few of them committing some pretty disgusting acts. The only bad thing about the book is that it´s quite thin - I wanted more - but at least I have his next book Squid Pulp Blues to look forward to.

One more thing: In the story, Krall mentions a fictional book called the Bizarronomicon, which I hope he eventually writes so that I can read it.

4) Paperback Book Piecemeal June by Eraserhead Press. Where to begin a review of Piecemeal June? First, I must say that this one is definitely NOT for the squeamish. I am not squeamish. This book MADE me squeamish. I will not give away any more of the plot than has already been given away in both the synopsis and other reviews, but I´ll say this: if gross is your thing, you will absolutely love Mr. Krall´s revolting, amusing and completely bizarro tale. A very entertaining story from an amazingly talented new author. I´m almost afraid to see what Krall does next.

Almost.

6) Paperback Book Piecemeal June by Eraserhead Press. Kevin lives in a small apartment above a porn shop with his tarot-reading cat, Mithra. He has gotten used to Mithra bringing him things from outside: dead mice, Twinkie wrappers, donut scraps, houseplants, and the occasional rabbit head. But one day, Mithra brings him an ankle... a sweaty piece of rubber-latex shaped like a human ankle. Later, he is brought an eyeball, then a foot. After more latex body parts are brought upstairs, Kevin decides to glue them together to form a piecemeal sex doll. But once the last piece is glued into place, the sex doll comes to life. She says her name is June. She comes from another world and is on the run from an evil pornographer and three crab-human hybrid assassins. Piecemeal June is a reality-bending journey into love, sex, death, and a bizarre parallel world of butchered flesh.¤
