About The Meat Worm Chronicles
The Meat Worm Chronicles begins at the butcher counter and follows the trouble home. Suspicious cuts of meat develop personalities. Leftovers form attachments. Appliances become judgmental. The family adapts, and the butcher would prefer that everyone stop asking questions.
Part horror collection and part fictional field guide, the book includes specimen classifications, household observations, and warnings that tend to arrive after the incident. Its domestic absurdity continues in Nothing to Worry About, where the investigation moves beyond the freezer.
