Synopsis

Earworm [eer-wurm]
noun

1. A song or melody that keeps repeating in one’s mind
Ripley awakens with an earworm in his head. At first the voice only sang annoying songs. Now, it’s talking like a person. “Call me Bogart,” the earworm says. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

2. An ancient parasite that uses humans as hosts

Ripley and his earworm, Bogart, are now in a race against time to save his family from the murderous clutches of an ancient alien race bent on enslaving humanity.



After the diagnosis of a degenerative brain disease, Ripley McCain’s only desire is to dull the pain of his mediocre life until death. The universe, however, has a different plan. If the Earworm is correct, Ripley has one more chance to redeem himself as a father and husband at the same time as saving the human species from a fate worse than death. Or perhaps this is all just a hallucination from his medical condition. Either way, he’s going out with a bang.

Both horrific and heartwarming, Earworm is a bizarre tale of consciousness, ancient aliens, conspiracies, and a whole lot more!
