ABOUT THIS BOOK The UK government research facility at Wormwood Mead conducts experiments in all kinds of strange science. Here, words can be weapons. Language is the stuff from which armaments are created. Grammar and syntax get forged into guns and ammo. But science can and will go wrong, and Wormwood Mead is no exception. The cost is health, sanity, even lives. In the seven stories that make up Tongue Disease, sentences can be sentient, diacritical marks can go critical, and typography can turn atypical.
Join us on a foray into the lunacy of locution and the madness of miscommunication.
