Aurelian's first three fiction books--Dead Wrestlers, Broken Necks & The Women Who Screwed Me Over (2011, short story), We Leave With Our Guns Out! (2012, short story) and Living Well is the Best Revenge: D.B. Cooper, the G-Heist Gang & the Missing Two Million (2012, crime fiction)--all featured a clown named Ripper; on Halloween 2012, Aurelian took this obscure clown character and turned the character into a stand-up comedy gimmick. Since that point, billing his creation as a "cartoon character come to life," he has continued doing stand-up comedy branching into online spoof and pop culture videos, commercials, appearances and comedy show promotion.The first Ripper the Clown novel, The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown: The Autobiography of an Unconventional Zombie (2014), is a zombie novel ... but, as the title indicates, an "unconventional" zombie novel; laced with extremely dark humor and an array of pop culture references, The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse)... simultaneously redefines and spoofs the zombie genre. In her review, Jimin Shim of Smilepolitely.com wrote: "The Life & Mimes... wasn't just a book for me but an experience and one unlike any other that I've had before ... an ingeniously unconventional approach to the zombie genre..."Ripper the Clown is in print and can be seen online and in-person; no other author has done anything remotely similar.
