Overview

Something darker than the devil stalks the North Carolina woods in Wolf Worm, an original gothic masterpiece from Sunday Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher. Perfect for fans of Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling. The year is 1899 and Sonia Wilson is a scientific illustrator without work, prospects or hope. When the reclusive Dr. Halder offers her a position illustrating his vast collection of insects, Sonia jumps at the chance to move to his North Carolina manor house and put her talents to use. But soon enough she finds that there are darker things at work in the Carolina woods. What happened to her predecessor, Halder's wife? Why are animals acting so strangely? And what is behind the peculiar local whispers about 'blood thieves'? With the aid of the housekeeper and a local healer, Sonia discovers that Halder's entomological studies have taken him down a dark road full of parasitic maggots that burrow into human flesh - and that his monstrous experiments may grow to encompass his newest illustrator . . .

You will gulp this book down like sweet tea on a hot day -- Charlaine Harris on <i>A House with Good Bones</i> The devil is waiting in between these pages. -- Chuck Wendig on <i>The Twisted Ones</i> I was compelled to read the book in one breathless, white-knuckled sitting. -- Paul Tremblay on <i>A House with Good Bones</i> A grotesque romp! It takes up residence beneath your skin and refuses to leave. -- Caitlin Starling on <i>What Moves the Dead</i>
