If you truly want bad, here's another candidate for your collection
(stolen from another list):
deeptrace writes "A group of SF writers all submitted purposely
awful stories to a publisher that purported to publish only
selected high quality works. They created the worst story they
could come up with, and it was accepted for publication." Their
press release is pretty funny -- and if you'd like a sample of
their insane prose, it's available through the book's Lulu
site. (Where, Yes, you could also buy the whole thing.)
