Available this February from Cody Goodfellow and Swallowdown Press, with knock-out cover art by Alan M Clark:




"PERFECT UNION is Cronenberg's THE FLY on a grand scale: human/insect gene-spliced body horror, where the human hive politics are as shocking as the gore.

PERFECT UNION

Well, you've got it. I love this book. PERFECT UNION is amazing and it's on its way.

Cheers,
