Tapeworm

by Nicholas B. Morris

Fiction. These fourteen stories move from backwoods Arkansas to concrete jungles, from churches to prison cells, from delusions to truth. "In TAPEWORM, Morris has his finger on the jackhammering pulse of the world within the world where the culture does its fiercest living. Luminous and livid, comfortingly familiar and disturbingly strange..."--Laird Hunt.

Reviews

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Morris has a marvelous talent for ripping the face off things and pulling the reader in. It just blasts right at you and you can't look away, not that you'd want to. Dark, gritty, and above all highly engaging. Definitely some powerful work.
