First Dictionary of Cultural Literacy by E D Hirsch

Love hurts. Breakups hurt more. When Hank Headley gets dumped, he'll do anything to forget his girlfriend. His high-pressure career depends on making clear, rational decisions. Some lovesick people turn to booze or drugs. Hank does them one better: He rents a hideous creature specially bred to nibble his cares away. It works like a charm. But some things are hard to shake loose, once they get in your head. *** Skullworm is one of six short stories in the ARM OF DARKNES collection. The full collection, available separately, contains six short stories of horror: Skullworm, Roadhouse, Glow, Kin, Sunshine Lady, and the origin story, Arm of Darkness.
