Tumor Fruit

Island survival has never been this strange. Eight

desperate castaways find themselves stranded on a mysterious deserted

island. They are surrounded by poisonous blue plants and an ocean made

of acid. Ravenous creatures lurk in the toxic jungle. The ghostly sound

of crying babies can be heard on the wind. Once they realize the

rescue ships aren't coming, the eight castaways must band together in

order to survive in this inhospitable environment. But survival might

not be possible. The air they breathe is lethal, there is no shelter

from the elements, and the only food they have to consume is the

colorful squid-shaped tumors that grow from a mentally disturbed woman's

body. From the crazy imagination of bizarro fiction master Carlton Mellick III comes Tumor Fruit--an

intense survival story full of eccentric characters, nail-biting

suspense, and the kinds of twists and turns that you'll only find in a

Mellick novel. It's what the television series LOST would have been if it had been darker, weirder, and a hell of a lot more insane.
