"Dead Thing" is a Lovecraftian short story by American author Frank Forte, first published in his collection Beyond Lovecraft by Asylum Press in September 2020.
==Synopsis==
When an inquisitive young boy discovers the carcass of a bizarre creature deep in the forest, his investigations result in a strange substance squirting out to cover his arm.
Over the next few years, whatever he had been infected by claims his entire body, forcing him into the life of a recluse, and claiming the lives of his parents.
Eventually, the larvae which he had been impregnated with emerge from his mutated body, and he finds himself transformed into a "mother" creature for these new beings.
