DarkFuse Releases WORM by Tim Curran
Now available for Kindle is Tim Curran’s latest novella, Worm.
“Like a B-movie horror film, Worm gives the reader a world filled with monsters and a ringside seat to the apocalypse.” —Examiner
On Pine Street, the houses begin to shake. The earth begins to move. The streets crack open and yards split asunder…and rising from subterranean depths far below, a viscid black muck bubbles up and floods the neighborhood.
In it are a ravenous army of gigantic worms seeking human flesh. They wash into houses, they come up through the sewers, through plumbing, filling toilets and tubs, seeking human prey.
Cut off from the rest of the town, the people of Pine Street must wage a war of survival or they’ll never see morning. As bad as the worms are, there’s something worse—and far larger—waiting to emerge.
“This is a story of gore and goop and glub and glop…After reading Worm you’ll never set on a toilet the same way again.” —Trent Smith, Pulp 300
“A glorious, fun filled and hugely thrilling read.” —Ginger Nuts of Horror

The Genesis Code by Lisa von Biela (featured novel)
The Genesis Code, the mind-blowing techno-thriller debut novel from Lisa von Biela.
Obedience and submission…uploaded directly to the brain…
When Mark Weston is hired by OneMarket, the prestigious and premier supplier of global equity trading systems, owned by international business tycoon Simon Harris, he thinks he’s found his dream job. Great pay, amazing benefits—and sure, the hours are long and the demands on his time are often extreme—but it means financial security for him and his wife Sheila, a new life and a new beginning, a fast track to success with a great company.
But deep within the walls of the enigmatic OneMarket, there is something unthinkable happening that only a select few are aware of, the development of a new kind of invasive technology dubbed THE GENESIS CODE, that could not only expand Simon Harris’ empire, but create a new, more efficient and obedient workforce. Mark and his coworkers have unknowingly become part of a horrifying experiment they may never be able to escape, and time is running out.
A new kind of worker…a new kind of hybrid…a new kind of corporate slave…
The Genesis Code…upload complete.
House of Rain by Greg F. Gifune (featured novella)
Gordon Cole is a tired and lonely old man. A troubled Vietnam vet and recent widower, he does his best to survive in an increasingly dangerous neighborhood while drowning in the nightmares of his horrific past and struggling with the death of his beloved wife Katy. And then the whispers begin calling to him from the shadows, terrifying visions stalk him relentlessly, the sounds of angelic singing haunt his every waking moment, and everyone in his life seems to be conspiring against him for reasons he cannot yet understand.
As the rains come, soaking the city, Gordon realizes he must face his past, and solve a dark mystery that has haunted him for nearly fifty years.
Who was the mystifying woman he met in a bar all those years ago? What happened in that seedy motel they went to? Did it even really happen at all?
As Gordon searches for answers, something within the mounting rain watches and waits, offering Gordon deliverance from his nightmare. But the keys to Heaven and Hell come with a terrible price.
Welcome home, Gordon.
Welcome to THE HOUSE OF RAIN.

He begins seeing dark connections, convinced that beneath the skin of the Coffin there beats a black, terrible heart. But it’s even worse than he can imagine.
For the Long Black Coffin has a history. And that history will lead Johnny into a web of murder, insanity, and sexual perversion.
