Worms. Book The Second

Plots are hatched in moss-strewn courtyards.
Staring eyes bore holes in old stone walls.
Holy water cascades from the mouths of the faithful.
Bonfires are burning in Vatican City tonight.

the second volume of my gothic horror series, Worms, collecting the chapters 4-7. Worms is a tale of despair, complicity and doom, set in the corridors of the Vatican, following a young priest called Eulogius Ely as he has a crisis of faith, in himself and in the church.

40 pages, B5 size, perfect bound, black and white interior art.

Praise for Worms:

“Price’s suspenseful storytelling and expressive, disturbing artwork makes Worms a must-read for fans of horror and Papal intrigue” - Eve Harms (Transmuted)

“Erika knows the best way to get under your skin is to simply peel it away. Absolutely Horrible, in the best possible way” -Kieron Gillen (Die, The Power Fantasy, The Wicked & The Divine)

“With Worms, Erika Price has crafted a nightmare on the comics page. The narrative of Calcified Rules and traditions proving to be laughably impotent in the face of primal evil feels sadly timely, and this second chapter contains some of the most starkly haunting, ghoulish imagery i can recall encountering in a comic in some time. an artefact of palpable malevolence” - John Lees (Sink, The Nasty, Orla!)

“The sheer unrelenting claustrophobia of the story is echoed in the stygian darkness of Price’s pages. This is work that seems to swallow the reader up in its remorseless dread and foreboding; a bombardment of body horror and organic terror. It absolutely rewards re-reading, every new visit to its pages emphasising its sense of brooding apprehension and impending doom all the more intensely.” Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier https://www.brokenfrontier.com/worms-book-the-second/
