“When I sat down to write my debut novel, TICK TOWN, I was inspired by the gonzo pulp horror paperbacks of the 1970's and 1980's, as well as the classic creature feature sci-fi movies of the 1950's and 1960's,” Micklos said today. “So when I sat down with my publisher, Castle Bridge Media, to work on the cover art, I wanted something that would evoke those classic covers and posters I love.”
The cover was designed by In Churl Yo of Castle Bridge Media.
In TICK TOWN, small town Tomahawk Hollow has a huge problem. Slaughtered livestock. Disappearing townsfolk. And something in the woods hungry for blood. When a young reporter and her boss investigate, they discover a band of giant mutant ticks have made the rural Wisconsin tourist town their feeding ground.
Now, with the annual Harvest Moon Jubilee about to begin, Emmaline and Jackson must race to find the queen tick and her nest before a massive clutch of monster eggs hatch…and thousands more terrifying ticks are unleashed into the world!
