Status Updates From Earthworm Gods

I haven't read this in so long that it's all like brand new !

The rumors are true - this one is quite good! I thought his book Pressure kind of lost its way near the end. The creature suddenly took a back-seat to some guns’n ammo, humans versus humans crap…and if that doesn’t happen here for the finale, we’ve got a much better book.

Made it to Part II. This is sort of one shard The Mist (but it probably ain't gonna be THAT good), one shard Tremors, one shard I Am Legend. And the rest is worms. It felt a little like the movie Squirm, or From Below by William Essex, at first - but there are too few people, and the worms are generally bigger.

The big worms on the cover of my beat-up copy of this novel kind of creep me out. The last time I had to hold a book this worm-icky was the Doctor Who novel Damaged Goods (in worse shape, but somehow it held together, so hopefully this book will too!). Most flood scenarios I've dealt with in novels have been in SF novels: Flood, Deluge, even New York 2140. A flood starting a Horror novel with worms is bleak...

Geez, I’ve got three Horror novels with ‘Worm’ or ‘Worms’ in the title. Not my favourite word, not my favourite beings - but Horror won’t leave worms alone, apparently. Time to get at least some worms crossed off my TBR.
