Only the unhinged brilliance of a mind like Ed Dick Trentwood's could dream up this chilling and offbeat collection of tales. Inside these pages, you'll find Benjamin Franklin battling a nightmarish horde of spiders with a flame-throwing contraption of his own invention, surreal mushroom trips spiraling into unspeakable terror, and a disturbingly intimate bond between man and monstrous, man-eating plant. These stories are equal parts bizarre, thrilling, and grotesque. And hey, someone had to write it, so it may as well be Trentwood. Benjamin Franklin's Crawling Horror on Pike's Peak, and Other Weird Stories will leave you questioning reality—and maybe your grip on sanity.
