Discussing You Weren't Meant to Be Human by Andrew Joseph WhiteFestering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. Crane is grateful for it.

He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly.
