Tick Town: A Pulp Horror Novel
(eAudiobook)

Welcome to Tick Town Tomahawk Hollow has a huge problem. Slaughtered livestock. Disappearing townsfolk. And something in the woods hungry for blood. When a young reporter and her boss investigate, they discover a band of giant mutant ticks have made the rural Wisconsin tourist town their feeding ground. Now, with the annual Harvest Moon Jubilee about to begin, Emmaline and Jackson must race to find the queen tick and her nest before a massive clutch of monster eggs hatch…and thousands more terrifying ticks are unleashed into the world! Bursting with cinematic action, horror, fun, and suspense, TICK TOWN is an old-school, pulse-pounding pulp horror adventure. If you like classic creature feature horror fiction like JAWS and NIGHT OF THE CRABS or b-movie monster mayhem like THEM! and STARSHIP TROOPERS, you'll love TICK TOWN! "The giant bugs are back with a gruesome vengeance! Lovers of the kind of monstrous plague the Guy N. Smith tradition loosed upon the world should find much to relish in this book." -- Ramsey Campbell, Master of Modern Horror (The Hungry Moon, The Doll Who Ate His Mother) "Tick Town is a great throwback to the golden age of pulp horror paperbacks, books like The Rats, Slugs and Bats out of Hell. Books that shaped a genre and gave so much enjoyment to so many. Books like this don't come along very often so make sure you don't miss it." -- Shaun Hutson (Assassin, Spawn, Incisions) Christopher A.
