"'Terminal Weird' is up-top work, lush with images on paper that
evoke equally powerful images. This is magical realism visited by
Franz Kafka. Each story is an explosion, a new vision into a
surrealism that makes one look up from the book every so often just
to make sure nothing funny's going on. I read the whole book
through in one sitting." -- Donald McQuinn, author of Wanderer and
Warrior
"Remick's motley characters vibrate with archetypal energy from the
cultural fringe. These stories burst with witty social satire and
provide a whimsical look at Psyche's fantastic and wounded
playground." -- Joanne L. Craig, Ph.D.
"The stories in 'Terminal Weird' take place somewhere between
Hieronymous Bosch's garden of hellish delights and Philip K. Dick's
cities of psychotic androids. Jack Remick's sharp, tough,
street-wise prose muscles through the smash hits: birth, death,
lust, gender and punk rock. Two particularly great ones are 'Horse,
' a frightening explosion of the Holy Grain legend, and 'Fish, ' a
century-spanning fear-and-loathing on the God trail. Not only that,
but they're really funny, too." -- Rebecca Brown, author of Annie
Oakley's Girl and The Haunted House
"The writing is raw, magical, surreal Kafkaesque, Kerouistic,
wonderful. As the stories dive deep, crossing the turf of the
unconscious at warp speed, archetypes blossom, glow, grin, and then
explode. With 'Terminal Weird, ' Remick challenges fiction writers
in the nineties and beyond: move it, he warns, or die." -- Robert
J. Ray, author of The Weekend Novelist
