About the Book

Rob Renzetti's masterful storytelling marries dry, absurdist humor with spine-tingling horror, crafting an imaginative fantasy world that both captivates and chills. In "The Terrible Bag of Horrible Things," Zenith's world is turned upside down when an eerie bag arrives at his doorstep. Curiosity leads him into a nightmarish adventure where his overprotective sister, Apogee, is abducted by a spine-chilling spiderlike creature, plunging them both into the unsettling realm of GrahBhag. As Zenith embarks on a mission to rescue Apogee, he confronts malicious forests, blood-drinking mouths, and a sentient giant filled with sawdust. Whispers of the enigmatic Great Wurm, a sinister force controlling GrahBhag's inhabitants, add to the suspense. With the help of a quirky gargoyle, Zenith races against time to save his sister from the clutches of the Great Wurm and escape the nightmarish bag.
