From Alison Rumfitt, the author of Tell Me IтАЩm Worthless тАФ тАЬa triumph of transgressive queer horrorтАЭ (Publishers Weekly) тАФ comes Brainwyrms, a searing body horror novel of obsession, violence, and pleasure.
When a transphobic woman bombs FrankieтАЩs workplace, she blows up FrankieтАЩs life with it. As the media descends like vultures, Frankie tries to cope with the carnage: binge-drinking, sleeping with strangers, pushing away her friends. Then, she meets Vanya. Mysterious, beautiful, terrifying Vanya.
The two hit it off immediately, but as their relationship intensifies, so too does FrankieтАЩs feeling that Vanya is hiding something from her. When VanyaтАЩs secrets threaten to tear them apart, Frankie starts digging, and unearths a sinister, depraved conspiracy, the roots of which go deeper than she ever imagined.
Shocking, grotesque, and downright filthy, Brainwyrms confronts the creeping reality of political terrorism while exploring the depths of love, pain, and identity.
тАЬFilthy, searing, and hideously intimate тАУ a modern classic.тАЭ тАФGretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt
