They are all Zero Context Examples that need to be fixed.

This is an index. Everything is a ZCE because it's just a list.

Oh, OK. Seems like they were commented out because they were redlinks. They shouldn't be commented out.

Where to list non-book examples? In my opinion, Yume Nikki and LSD Dream Emulator qualify as Bizarro Fiction although they are games.

Most Bizarro video games might qualify under Widget games.

See, we've got Mind Screw, Widget Series and Bizarro Fiction. Although slightly different, it seems to me as if there's far, far too much overlap to the point of making all these tropes redundant.

I think this is subjective, but does So Bad, It's Good count as being often found in biz-fi?

Even though the genre sounds convincing, what bugs me is about whether it's not safe for children.

Just like how there are both G rate and X rate adventure movie.

The genre itself is safe, invidual work may be not.

But there's Spunk Goblin Books, which has weird books for children, any thoughts on that?

What is the relationship between realism, surrealism, magic realism, new weird fiction, slipstream, fabulation, bizzaro fiction, mainstream fiction, literary fiction, and speculative fiction?

Bizarro, at least the examples listed here, has a lot of transgressive and purposefully disgusting or controversial content.

I wish I could read The Faggiest Vampire because if I were to a piece of bizarro fiction, I could use that work as an inspirational influence. Will it get translated into Korean and adapted into manhwa?

What if there's bizarro haiku?

For those who have no idea, here's my example:

Game bats and scourges, Barbed wire and ceramic, For audacity

The ceramic part is for both weapons that derive from cricket bats, ping pong paddles, scourges, and whips; barbed wire is for the latter two weapons. Does that get qualified as a bizarro haiku poem?
