About this listen

Welcome to Tick Town

Tomahawk Hollow has a huge problem. Slaughtered livestock. Disappearing townsfolk. And something in the woods hungry for blood. When a young reporter and her boss investigate, they discover a band of giant mutant ticks have made the rural Wisconsin tourist town their feeding ground.

Now, with the annual Harvest Moon Jubilee about to begin, Emmaline and Jackson must race to find the queen tick and her nest before a massive clutch of monster eggs hatch…and thousands more terrifying ticks are unleashed into the world!

Bursting with cinematic action, horror, fun, and suspense, TICK TOWN is an old-school, pulse-pounding pulp horror adventure. If you like classic creature feature horror fiction like JAWS and NIGHT OF THE CRABS or b-movie monster mayhem like THEM! and STARSHIP TROOPERS, you’ll love TICK TOWN!

Critic reviews

“The giant bugs are back with a gruesome vengeance! Lovers of the kind of monstrous plague the Guy N. Smith tradition loosed upon the world should find much to relish in this book.”—Ramsey Campbell, Master of Modern Horror (The Hungry Moon, The Doll Who Ate His Mother)

"Tick Town is a great throwback to the golden age of pulp horror paperbacks, books like The Rats, Slugs and Bats out of Hell. Books that shaped a genre and gave so much enjoyment to so many. Books like this don't come along very often so make sure you don't miss it."—Shaun Hutson (Assassin, Spawn, Incisions)

Fun, fun story. I bought it on Saturday morning and finished it over the weekend. It was so hard to put down. It reads like a film with the suspense propelling the action forward. The last half is especially tense and suspenseful. The characters are well developed so that you care if they survive and are rooting for them. Then, there's the cleverness of the mutant ticks. Honestly, they are scary enough in small form, but having them in giant size is truly horrifying. Dialogue is clever and the science sounds real even if it's probably not remotely possible. I got the audio book, and I have to say that I really enjoyed the performance. This story is a must read/listen.
