“Worm,” by Tim Curran, Coming in May from Darkfuse

Visit Darkfuse!

Tim Curran’s The Corpse King* is a terribly fun read (reading post here) for those who love period fiction with some grue shoved inside to create gruesome . . . and now I see Curran has a new novella on the way from Darkfuse.

On Pine Street, the houses begin to shake. The earth begins to move. The streets crack open and yards split asunder…and rising from subterranean depths far below, a viscid black muck bubbles up and floods the neighborhood.

In it are a ravenous army of gigantic worms seeking human flesh. They wash into houses, they come up through the sewers, through plumbing, filling toilets and tubs, seeking human prey.

Cut off from the rest of the town, the people of Pine Street must wage a war of survival or they’ll never see morning. As bad as the worms are, there’s something worse—and far larger—waiting to emerge.

And what may be even more important than this novella (well, to me at least) is the discovery of Cannibal Corpse, M/C*, also by Curran, which sounds like another book to add to my “it’s work, really!” pile of reading for the Car Wars reboot. I love when I can say that reading a novel about a post-apocalyptic biker gang is part of my job.
