Wormwood: The Night the World Changed

By Lynda D. Brown

What if the end of the world didn't arrive with explosions... but with sleep?

After a strange meteor shower rains glowing particles over the quiet town of Amber Ridge, people begin waking up... different. They still look the same. They still sound the same. But beneath the surface, something dark has taken hold.

Neighbors turn violent overnight. Teachers snap. Families unravel. And the infected don't just lose control - they become hilariously, terrifyingly unhinged.

Sixteen-year-old Darya Quinn hasn't slept in days, and that may be the only thing keeping her alive.

As the world descends into chaos, Darya discovers the horrifying truth: an alien force known as Wormwood attaches itself to sleeping humans, feeding on jealousy, resentment, and hidden rage. The result? A planet full of smiling strangers with murderous intentions.

With a flamethrower-loving best friend, a sleepless band of teenage survivors, and a mysterious scientist who knows more than he admits, Darya must uncover the source of the infection before humanity destroys itself.

Perfect for fans of the creepy paranoia of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the darkly outrageous humor of Serial Mom, Wormwood: The Night The World Changed is a wild YA sci-fi horror adventure packed with suspense, humor, unforgettable characters, and a chilling question:

What if the real monster was already inside us?
