Review: Squirmy!

Scooping up a new (to me) short from Allison M. Dickson is always a treat. Even if I don't know what it's about when I pick it up, I do know that there will be horror, and there will most likely be some humor - my literary Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!! "You got your Horror in my Humor!", "You got your Humor in my Horror!"Vermin is a squirmy, and sometimes uncomfortable read!Allison's descriptive writing really put me right along side of Oscar while he goes through this haunted & infested house. Ok, well - maybe not along side of... how about a step behind? Oscar is already regretting his decision to do this job. He could have switched jobs with another exterminator after hearing about the house's history, and the extent of the infestation, but he knows decisions like that are never forgotten by the bosses. They're never forgotten by your co-workers, either! Rumors among the troops can ruin your reputation faster than any actual screw up, so he pulls up his big-boy pants, laces his boots, and heads into a nightmare worse than anything he could have ever imagined!Be warned - if you're phobic, you may be sleeping with the lights on for a night. Or seven.Join the VERMIN discussion, along with many others, on BBB -[...]
