Garth Marenghi's This Bursted Earth: the third volume in his SUNDAY TIMES bestselling TerrorTome series
Garth Marenghi
Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Horror & ghost stories
The third volume in Garth Marenghi's bestselling TerrorTome series - 'A pitch-perfect parody of terrible genre writing' (Chortle)
Horror 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? Is all that we see or seem merely a dream within an Earth that's been bursted?
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 was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O levels in subjects. He taught for nine years at his local library reading group before becoming a full-time horror writer. He has published numerous novels of terror (too numerous to list, nay count), over five hundred short stories, and has edited thirty anthologies of his own work, which have all received the Grand Master of Darkdom Award. He wrote, directed and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for the Peruvian market, which subsequently aired on Channel 4 and has not been repeated due to its radical and polemic content. He commenced work on TerrorTome during the late 1980s, continued on it alone and unaided by editors throughout the 1990s, and on into the early 2000s, then the mid-2000s, and has only now found a publisher brave enough to unleash its chilling portendings. He is an honorary fellow.
