Ultra Fuckers
A man gets lost in a uniform gated community where reality breaks down.
The narrative follows Tony as he attempts to reach a dinner party in Eagle Hills, a new development outside Scottsdale. The setting is characterized by its oppressive sameness, with every street and home looking identical. This visual monotony causes Tony significant distress as he loses track of time and direction. The residents are depicted as staring figures who lack human warmth. The environment itself becomes an antagonist, trapping him in a cycle of futile driving. The text highlights the absurdity of such planned communities through a lens of supernatural dread.
This 2013 publication by Eraserhead Press engages with the genre of absurd horror. It draws directly on the tradition set by Mellick’s earlier cult work, The Menstruating Mall. The story critiques the homogenization of American suburbs in the Southwest region.
