BOOM: A Horror Novel

In the darkest corners of Washington D.C. lies the Periphery—the entrance into the horrific dimensions that touch our own.

★★★★★ “I highly recommend this book to Lovecraftian horror fans. It’s horrific, bizarre, and different.” - Amazon Customer

During a bumper-to-bumper commute, Everard is almost killed by a woman whose skin is covered in a living swarm of holes. He chases her down an impossible staircase. He’s thrown into the city’s supernatural underbelly where nightmares lurk around every corner.

With an undead strongman trying to recruit him, an occult lynch mob out for his head, and an ancient soul-eating evil only he can stop, Everard’s only shot at survival lies in embracing a latent psychic ability—even if it risks shredding his soul into pieces.

For fans of horror epics like Stephen King’s Dark Tower or the wondrous horrors of Clive Barker’s Cabal & Nightbreed, Ben Farthing's BOOM is “non-stop terrifying action” with a villain who Apex Magazine Editor Lesley Conner called, “The stuff of my freaking nightmares.”
