About

From Alison Rumfitt, the author of Tell Me I'm Worthless-"a triumph of transgressive queer horror" (Publishers Weekly)-comes Brainwyrms, a searing body horror novel of obsession, violence, and pleasure.

When a transphobic woman bombs Frankie's workplace, she blows up Frankie's life with it. As the media descends like vultures, Frankie tries to cope with the carnage: binge-drinking, fucking 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 Frankie's feeling that Vanya is hiding something from her. When Vanya's 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.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Reviews

"Rumfitt's talent for portraying the deplorable, disgusting, and grotesque shines throughout her masterful sophomore horror outing."
Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
"[An] intimate, vulnerable triumph.…With biting, abrasive commentary, Rumfitt's bold prose pulls no punches and refuses to relent....Rumfitt's tour-de-force work of queer body horror is a must-read for fans of Gretchen Felker-Martin, Eric LaRocca, and Hailey Piper."
Library Journal, STARRED review
"Smart, seething social horror…Made up of terse, glowering prose and grimy sex scenes, the novel is perhaps best described as "The Last of Us" dunked in the toilet bowl of Samuel R. Delany's impressively foul, taboo-shattering "Hogg.""
The New York Times Book Review
