Writhe

A Vile Tale of Psychosis... and Bloodworms

By: Erica Summers, H. M. Wohl

Narrated by: George Brandenburg

Garrett was an ordinary New Yorker, appeasing annoying neighbors and paying over-inflated rent for a dumpy apartment in Hell's Kitchen. That is... until the larvae hatched.

With a brain squirming with voracious worms, Garrett's humanity dissipates and rage takes its place. As the end of the year draws near, his violent wrath is unleashed in a torrent of bloodshed and carnage. NYPD officers Luca Han and Mel Tredo are on a mission to find the depraved lunatic in before he can continue his Manhattan massacre. Can they capture the homicidal madman in the surging sea of potential victims before he slaughters again?

This gory tale of extreme horror is brought to you by the twisted real-life sisters behind Vanity Kills, Bad God's Tower, and The Illuminator Saga.

pretty horrifying!

good story, well written and well performed. not beyond the scope of possibility, which heads to the frightening drama. listen to the opening statement about this story being rather gory, they aren't kidding. I am typically not a fan of gore, but this story was really well done.

Gross worm based body horror!!!

This was a fun story about a man who get infected with parasites. It is on the extreme side so check triggers but it really good and the narrator was amazing!

What a ride!

Ill be the first to admit that horror is not my usual when it comes to books or movies. But I loved Wohl's fantasy books so much I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Now I'm intrigued to see what else Summers has in store for me.

Gore, gruesome and great!

The story starts out slow, allowing you to get to know Garrett, and his friends and neighbors. Then we jump over to NYPD with a seasoned officer and a new recruit and then working out their partnership. After that the story takes off and goes off the rails, with Garrett losing his mind. All the death, all the gore. Some deserved and some sad, but all gruesome. I will say I did feel a little bad for Garrett at the end. All he wanted was relief from the pain.

ear worms

This was so good and disgusting. An amazing performance as well. I especially appreciated the worm POV

Great story awesome narration

This horror story was very gruesome with great detail. The narrator did an exceptional job portraying the story.

Multi perspective horror story

Writhe is a great "casual" step into the horror genre. I enjoyed hearing the perspective of multiple characters, and it kept moving forward with the storytelling. The writers didn't linger on any one event too long, and I feel it is adult horror but not XXX level horror. Without giving away too much I'd say it's like a snippet of adult maturation of the old Animorphs series. Awesome narration by George Brandenburg, he painted the pictures and sounds of what was happening in a clear and intriguing way without taking away from the author's writing style. He made it easy to follow exactly what was happening with multiple characters interacting, I did not have to backtrack/rewind to understand what is going on. Overall I enjoyed it and want to know more! I feel this could be expanded to a series, but I appreciate and enjoyed this short story!

Invasive Rage Worms

I used to feel bad about fishing with worms but after this book I will never look at worms the same way again. Wow! The storyline was fresh or should I say gory and unique. I absolutely loved this book it was well written and did fair warn you before about trigger warnings in advance. What can you say worms that invade the human body that bring on rage and insanity but is still so much fun to listen to. Horror story at its finest it starts off a little slow but that doesn't last long because when it picks up the body count rises. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves horror and gore that is at leastc18 years of age. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Fairly short but great scary story

This was much shorter than I expected (a bit over 4 hours I believe) but was very well written. This author is definitely one I enjoy and writes very good scary stories! I’ve also listened to Rictus Grin and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one is about a terrifying parasitic incident (talk about tapping into some of my fears!) and the ensuing chaos. Definitely worth the listen and very nicely performed.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

So much wriggly fun!

I really enjoyed this squirmy tale. So much icky. I loved it! Now if only I could stop feeling like there was something in my ear, wriggling around, that would be great!
