Introducing: SILKWORM by Ogden Nesmer
Post Apocalyptic Horror At Just The Right Time
There’s something in the basement…
The black smog of war creeps over the horizon. Every day the front inches closer, preceded by sulfurous fumes and explosions, and the smell of money is in the air. As the best arms dealer in the business, Gilly should be thriving in these worst of times. But he can’t relax: professional success only brings more confusion, his new boss is hiding something sinister, and the girl he admires won’t bother to remember his name. Still, none of this compares to the mystery of what lurks under his floorboards. A menacing creature— or is it? Does it live? Undoubtedly it hungers, with an insatiable appetite for blood. Soon, the question of what Gilly will do with it takes a back seat to the worry of what it will do with Gilly…
Silkworm is a fast-paced Post Apocalyptic Horror Novel, with clear appeal for fans of Fallout, The Southern Reach Trilogy/The Film Annihilation, and Roadside Picnic. Nesmer was in particular inspired by the recent novels Monstrilio and Nightbitch.
Silkworm is Ogden Nesmer’s third novel, but his first to be published by us at The Unreal Press. We’re really excited to release our first novel, as we’ve exclusively been a Chapbook and Anthology outfit until now. Silkworm will officially launch on September the 15th, but the Paperback and the E-Book are available for prepurchase.
