Wormwood Short Stories Collection

“Big talent exudes thermonuclear energy. I can sense it . . . this is the voice that will resonate for years to come.”—Harlan Ellison

Traveling in an old car down a North Carolina highway with the radio blasting so loud that the music is drowned out. . . Amidst the chaos of a dusty Georgia carnival. . . Within a crypt in Baton Rouge, or a dark alley in Calcutta. . . Here, wanderers find solace, the lost and lonely seek comfort in each other’s arms, as the temperature rises, skin is exposed, bones are laid bare, and blood is spilled. This is the haunting setting of the most talented young horror writer of our time, Poppy Z. Brite.

Presenting a collection that resonates like cutting-edge rock ’n’ roll and showcases the skillful storytelling of a master, Poppy Z. Brite intricately weaves her unique blend of sensuality, terror, and taboo. . . “Every page of Brite’s work emphasizes the strange, yet beautiful and heartbreaking nature of the world.”—Fangoria.
