Bizarro Fiction Books
Bizarro Fiction books are a contemporary literary genre that embraces high-weirdness, absurdist satire, and grotesque pop-surrealism—often described as the literary equivalent of a cult midnight movie. Rather than using strange elements merely for background flavor, Bizarro makes an absurd premise the central engine of the plot while treating it with deadpan seriousness.
