Garth Marenghi's This Bursted Earth
the third volume in his bestselling TerrorTome series
(Author) Garth MarenghiHorror author Nick Steen is having visions... A sinister Black Steeple; eerie lights in the sky that look like a Catherine wheel but are not remotely a Catherine wheel... Plus a giant skeleton with a moustache. Are they omens? Auguries? Portenderings of things to come? (Spoiler - yes, they are.) For Nick Steen's imagination is bursting out of his brain and threatening to burst in turn the entirety of Stalkford. Can Nick stop the aforesaid bursting? Or have things already slightly burst regardless? And will there ultimately be a grand finale to this three-book series (aka a trilogy) or a more open-ended conclusion in order to leave potential room for further sequels? (That, btw, will ultimately be Garth's decision.) From the fevered imaginata of Horror Fiction's Grand Frightener Garth Marenghi, author of Sunday Times-bestselling Garth Marenghi's TerrorTome and Garth Marenghi's Incarcerat, come three freshly rancid tales of . . . . . . THIS BURSTED EARTH
Garth Marenghi
Garth Marenghi is a fictional character created by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade in the cult British comedy series "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace." Marenghi is portrayed as a pompous and self-absorbed horror author who believes himself to be a literary genius. His most notable works include titles such as "The Ooze," "Black Fang," and "Arachnobilia." Marenghi's writing style is characterized by over-the-top melodrama, cliched horror tropes, and grandiose prose. Although a parody of bad writing, Marenghi's works have gained a cult following for their unintentional humor and absurdity. His most famous work is "Darkplace," a fictional account of his time as a hospital doctor dealing with supernatural occurrences. Garth Marenghi has left a lasting impact on the horror genre, inspiring a new wave of satirical and self-aware horror literature and television.
