While they have a batshit insane premise—being eaten by a bear and dating a wall—they don’t share the multiple-layers-of-craziness found in the writing of Carlton Mellick III. My guess is that his books are the only cases of ‘pure’ bizarro.
Other single-instance-of-craziness books are WHO **CENSORED ROGER RABBIT**, the anthology **DEATH MACHINE**, and the writing of Jasper Fforde.
Also worth mentioning is **RUBY AND THE STONE AGE DIET**. While it is a straight realisitic story about hapless squatters in 1980s London, the protagonists ongoing LSD hallucinations about aliens, godesses and werewolves make it feel sorta bizarro-ish.

Two books stand out for me:
**HELP! A BEAR IS EATING ME!**
**WALL OF KISS**
