<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A science fiction novella by the author of <em>Leech Girl Lives.</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From the author of <em>Leech Girl Lives</em> comes a novella of cosmic claustrophobia and workplace survival horror. It's the story of Thorner, crushed under the weight of an alien occupation and also a refrigerator; of his family and campmates and fellow workers on Weckett's mold farm; of the nglaeylyaethm and their masks and pets. It's the story of people in intolerable situations, faced with untenable choices, in an appallingly cruel society-a fanciful tale of the distant future.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Think you've got a bad job? Take consolation that you're not scraping mold for a living, that you don't have any tentacles in your head, and that you're not sewing tents from the discarded skins of the creatures who've taken your world over. A wonderfully odd novella with a profoundly human core.</p><p>-Brian Evenson, author of <em>Song for the Unraveling of the World</em> and <em>The Warren</em></p><p><br></p><p>At its best, Rick Claypool's work makes the disturbing and surreal feel believable. The true horror in this book isn't the alien overlords, but the alarmingly relatable journey of a man navigating a world he will never understand, willing to stoop ever lower just to get by.</p><p>-Daniel McCloskey, author of <em>Cloud Town</em> and <em>A Film About Billy</em></p><p><br></p><p>Claypool's post-apocalyptic novella draws readers into a world that's compellingly surreal, darkly imaginative, and just not... quite right.</p><p>-Premee Mohamed, author of <em>A Broken Darkness</em> and <em>Beneath the Rising</em></p><p><br></p><p>A character struggling between the twin horrors of alien in-vasion and economic degradation, I found Rick Claypool's <em>Mold Farmer</em> a voice that held me in its grip. Full-on body horror merges with the most human of concerns-family, and how to protect it-to produce a fascinating, frightening tale.</p><p>-Aliya Whiteley, author of <em>The Loosening Skin</em> and <em>The Beauty</em> </p><br>
