Yes, that's right, The Haunted Vagina. Believe it or not, amazon.com suggested this book to me! I don't know why - it's not like I've ever really searched for books about vaginas. But given recent comedic discussions I've had with some friends about how scary vaginas are, I thought I had to get it.
Essentially, the plot is that Steve's girlfriend, Stacy, has a haunted vagina. So he goes inside to explore. And the story is what happens after that.
I have to say - it was pretty interesting! A short book, only about 100 pages. A quick read. Definitely comedic in parts, and completely bizarre in other parts. The idea of having a whole other world in a vagina is, well, creepy.
No particular quotes or themes that resonated with me, and I don't know that I'll rush out to read any of his other books, but it was interesting and clever. Apparently Carlton Mellick III is one of the leading authors of a new genre called "bizarro fiction." I don't know that I'm familiar with this genre, but I can see that there's a place for it.
