A lovesick executive rents a hideous creature bred to nibble his cares away, with horrifying consequences.

("Skullworm" is short story. It is also included in the author's 6-story Arm of Darkness collection.)

* * *

Love hurts. Breakups hurt more.

When Hank Headley gets dumped, he’ll do anything to forget his girlfriend. His high-pressure career depends on making clear, rational decisions.

Some lovesick people turn to booze or drugs. Hank does them one better: He rents a hideous creature specially bred to nibble his cares away.

It works like a charm.

But some things are hard to shake loose, once they get in your head.

This Daggyland Dark Single is just one of six short stories in the ARM OF DARKNESS collection. The full collection contains six short stories of horror: "Skullworm," "Roadhouse," "Glow," "Kin," "Sunshine Lady," and the origin story, "Arm of Darkness."
