Horror

You Weren't Meant to Be Human

by Andrew Joseph White

Across Appalachia, hives of worms and flies offer salvation to the desperate: loyalty and fresh corpses in exchange for a new life. Crane, grateful to his hive, serves dutifully—until he begins to question the cost of this bargain. A visceral, unflinching horror exploring bodily autonomy, complicity, and the seductive promise of belonging.
