Wormfood
by Ken La Salle

It all begins with an exchange of bodily fluids

Then, an itch just beneath the skin.

Then, a hot, burning lust that can neither be denied nor satisfied and, before you know it, you’ve chewed halfway through someone’s neck.

You’re Wormfood.

Welcome to the Isle de la Serenidad, a secluded spot where couples and hedonists can experience all the delights of the Pacific. Kevin Miller won a trip for his family, and he’s hoping it’ll be enough to save his marriage. He’s hoping the bitterness and regret can simply wash out with the sun.

His mundane concerns are quickly forgotten when the resort island becomes an isolated trap, his family is separated, and the only thing keeping him sane is his desperate search for a way out.

You thought zombies could just eat you.

5 out of 5 fairies

First and only warning – this book is going to make your skin crawl in the best and worst way at the same time, so buckle up zombie horror lovers who don’t mind some hot, sticky, bloody scenes, you’re in for a wild ride. This book starts off ordinarily enough – although every unhappy family may be unhappy in their own way, the story of a family on the brink of splitting up, and parents trying and failing to hide their fights from their child is hardly a new one. The way it’s presented, though, the characters feel real in a visceral way. They’re flawed in a deep way, disconnected from each other, and just when you think you couldn’t possibly get dragged any deeper into the orbit of Kevin’s depressive orbit or the orbit of his older vacation neighbors, things takes a lusty, gorey, and comical turn. Honestly, I loved it. I don’t want to spoil anything, and this is one of those things you really have to experience.
