Save the Eastside, save the world.

In Baltimore, Worm has just returned from a two year stretch in prison. When he finds out that his hometown is being brutally destroyed by a dangerous new chemical, Worm is reluctantly catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with chaos and destruction. Can one man save the city before his 9:00 p.m. curfew at the halfway house?

Critic reviews

“Ghosts of East Baltimore is like The Wire meets Bloodborne directed by Takashi Miike. The wildest time I had reading a book in recent memory.”, J. David Osborne, author of Black Gum and Our Blood In Its Blind Circuit

“This is the greatest thing I’ve read all year. Fuck it, longer than that,” -Kelby Losack, author of Hurricane Season and Letting Out the Devils

For some reason I thought this was going to be a short story collection but instead it's one of the most richly inventive modern cosmic horror stories I've ever heard. It's so full of story and flavor that it's like being on a Rick Steve's tour through Baltimore, except the tour guide is an excon who has to make a delivery to the trap house where you will certainly be eviscerated by cultists.The quality of David Simmon's writing and story telling can't be overstated, but Drama Simpson's performance somehow elevates this already amazing book to the level of brilliant radio theater.

My one and only complaint has to do with the sound quality. For whatever reason it was hard to understand without dropping the bass on my equalizer. That could just be my stereo. Who knows.

All that said, I'll be after the sequel for sure.

Captivating narration and story. Genuinely endearing hero. This was the most enjoyable listen I've had in years. Simmons completely immerses the reader (listener) in even the most gruesome scenes. I could smell the blood and hear the viscera dripping from the walls.

I had to pull over
