Wolf Worm

In 'Wolfworm', T. Kingfisher returns to atmospheric horror with a late-19th-century setting where an artist-illustrator takes a position at a reclusive entomologist's estate.

As strange animal behavior and grotesque insect phenomena escalate, the protagonist confronts unnerving discoveries tied to the estate's past and the previous illustrator's disappearance.

The novel foregrounds vivid, sometimes visceral descriptions of bugs and nature, blending scientific curiosity with creeping dread.

Kingfisher's background in art and anthropology informs detailed sensory writing and believable depictions of entomological work.

The result is a tense, unsettling tale that balances character-driven interior anxieties with body-horror elements.
