Every Crawling, Putrid Thing

In his debut collection, David Busboom presents fifteen tales of dark fantasy and horror, populated by bizarre reptiles, occult serial killers, carnivorous protoplasms, and parasitic worms. A child faces down the giant ape destroying his parents' marriage. A cheating husband wakes up to find his hand replaced by a mucous-covered tentacle. A Midwestern office complex becomes the setting for a ghastly, apocalyptic nightmare.
Within these pages you'll find strange creatures sliding over dark country roads and twilit train tracks, detectives and swordsmen fighting through occult mysteries and marauding fish-men, a shunned filmmaking prodigy's deadly magnum opus, and the seductive death of innocence. You'll find regret, self-destruction, and relationships gone bad.
Here, where weird pulp horror meets the darker sides of love and disillusion, you'll find slime, and stink, and Every Crawling, Putrid Thing.
