When Doc Wormwood sets up shop in the sleepy town of Moosup, folks are glad to have a new doctor to look after them. Nobody thinks twice about the strange questions he's been asking, nobody but gruff deputy Bill Starr.
Bill's got a sneaky suspicion the Doc's arrival is just a little too good to be true, and those suspicions are confirmed when a grizzled old forty-niner comes stumbling into the Holy Moses with his stomach swelled up and screaming bloody murder.
Something's been at the old boy, something from outside the universe, and if Bill Starr and the Doc can't stop it, the entire world will be overrun!
Readers Rave About the Fiction of Joseph Duncan:
”Beyond my expectations”…”dark, deadly, funny”… “reminds me of Stephen King”…”this author has tremendous talent and knows how to weave a great tale”…”weird as hell but very good…”I laughed, I cried, and I loved the story’s originality”…”OMG”…”Wow, just wow”
What The Critics Have To Say:
“Every once in a while, a book or film comes along that changes your mindset about a genre in such a way that it can never be switched back to its original setting. This is what happened to me with Mort.”—uwanted2c.com… “House of Dead Trees is a dark and violent book but never to the point of gratuitous violence for the sake of another splatter. It is a far too clever a tale for such a cheap trick.”—bricksofthedead.com… “Mort was an unexpected surprise… I loved the individuality of each of the characters and how they played off each other... The whole story captured my imagination...Would I recommend Mort? My answer would be, yes."—livingdeadmedia.com
