Grub
A final dinner is the only request of Ellie’s soon-to-be ex-husband, and she feels obligated to join him. After all, they don’t hate each other. They have merely grown apart over the years, the result of Billy spending increasing hours in the basement with his collection of insects and spiders.
Shortly into the meal, Billy makes a bold proclamation about his scientific progress. As he unveils his breakthrough, it becomes clear to Ellie that this dinner is about more than saying goodbye. It’s about metamorphosis. Their metamorphosis.
Grub is the Kafkaesque anti-romance story of Billy and Ellie Goldstein. A buggy, body-horror plunge into science and insanity proving that love never dies—it only transforms.

I might have nightmares
I started this thinking it was going to be kind of a moody, emotional story, and then somewhere along the way it turned into the third act of a horror film and I was absolutely not ready. The buildup was so subtle I didn’t even realize how tense I was until suddenly everything was deeply wrong. It was weird, unsettling, and honestly really well written—I couldn’t look away. Definitely didn’t expect to be this invested in bug horror, but here we are.

Creepy, good read!
Very well written. Kept me intrigued. Page turner for sure. Can't wait to read what the author has up his sleeve next.
