Description
Victor is hoping a weekend away with his longtime friends will help repair their increasingly frayed bonds. Recently separated from his wife, Trish, he arrives in the isolated California desert town of Superstition looking for a chance to loosen up and perhaps rediscover parts of himself he has spent years repressing.
Instead, he discovers something lurking beneath the town.
As Victor becomes increasingly drawn into Superstition’s strange underbelly, the boundaries between desire and danger begin to disappear. The town’s mysterious Welcoming Committee offers him an enticing, sexually charged invitation, but its hospitality comes with a price. Something beneath Superstition is feeding on the desires of Victor and his friends, and their weekend retreat takes a grotesque turn.
What begins as an attempt at friendship and self-discovery becomes a fight for survival against a vampire infestation unlike anything the group has encountered before.
Blending vampire horror with visceral body horror, Tapeworm explores repression, identity, aging, desire, and the frightening possibilities that emerge when the things we keep buried finally demand to be acknowledged. For readers who like their vampires strange, hungry, and decidedly unpleasant.
