Garth Marenghi’s This Bursted Earth continues the adventures of horror author Nick Steen, who has appeared in Marenghi’s two previous bestselling titles, Garth Marenghi’s Terror Tome and Garth Marenghi’s Incarcerat. In this third volume o’ terrifying tales, Nick is having visions: a sinister black steeple, eerie Catherine wheels in the sky that aren’t remotely Catherine wheels… plus a giant skeleton with a moustache. Are they omens? Auguries? Portents of things to come? (Spoiler: yes, they are.) For Nick’s imagination is bursting out of his brain and threatening to burst in turn the entirety of Stalkford. Can Nick stop the aforesaid bursting? Or have things already slightly burst regardless?
