"An intense sadistic tale of how one man will save the world through sterilization. When Todd was just a child, he learned that sometimes it was necessary to sterilize or euthanize animals in order to keep their population from growing too rapidly. It was the humane thing to do, the best thing for the environment. Yet, every day at his job at the Welfare Department, Todd sees the dregs of humanity multiplying unchecked, overburdening the earth with a tidal wave of waste, abuse, and cruelty. But if he can convince them not to reproduce, if he can convince everyone to voluntarily sterilize themselves, then he might just prevent the coming population explosion. And those who can't be convinced... Population Zero is the story of an environmental activist named Todd Hammerstein who is on a mission to save the planet. In just 50 years the population of the planet is expected to double. But not if Todd can help it. From Wrath James White, the celebrated master of sex and splatter, comes a tale of environmentalism, drugs, and genital mutilation. "

Resurrection Dreams - Richard Laymon

This is a list of unusual, lesser-known horror novels. I will include a brief summary (from Amazon) with each book. I am only including books here that I think are weird, strange and unusual enough that I would be interested in at least checking them out. No Stephen King or Dead Koontz on this list, just because they are so well known.
List started Wed, Nov 30, 2011. I believe this will take a while before there is a large number of books here, but it will be more carefully selected than the items on my other list, "For the horror lover..."
Also, with very few exceptions, there will be no Vampire novels here. I want to get back to obscure, weird horror. Vampires are just too big right now.
