Day 1 Highlights from Fecund Gulch Literary Expo and Adult DVD Convention

Fecund Gulch Convention Center played host to that august tradition - the annual meeting of minds and regional literati.

Ted Bulger, native of Beyond-the-Rendering-Plant, debuted his semi-autobiographical monster novel entitled The Evolution of Death. Critics, publishers and agents were abuzz.

An excerpt:

My dog ran away in during a hail storm and I thought about the shriveled wretch who took over my job setting table widths for at the prison newsletter - unsung and unhinged in time immemorial. Like a boat on a stream of consciousness or train of thought.

Then I saunted over to my expensive armoir. I read Proust into the wee hours. When I caught a glimpse of my shattered reflection in the mirror, I yelled poetically: "What tangled 'webs' we weave." Some forgotten bitch nodded solemnly and sped off into the undulating wastes.

Here's a sampling of the feedback Bulger is getting at the conference:

"Very gritty and well-paced." - Arlen Chris, Fecund Gulch Street Beat

"Dean Koontz in sheep's clothing takes on the literati with the aplomb of a much gayer man." - Deckland James, Sub Genius

"Tad Balber's new master(bation)piece is like the bastard lovechild of Yugeoh, weapon X and a book on tape that someone wrote the word 'fuck' on." - Smith Matt, Accident Pamphlets Universal, a division of Hyperion
