Wicked Tongue by C. L. Schneider

A typical night of partying leaves Daniel Blair with far more than a hangover. His myriad of strange symptoms defy explanation, as does the blood on his pillow. And something is very wrong with his tongue.

Afraid he contracted a terrible unknown illness, Daniel seeks help. But his frantic search for answers takes a horrifying turn. Struck by violent impulses, and compelled by a cryptic voice in his head, he commits unspeakable acts. He struggles to fight back, but something is growing inside him, changing him, breaking his mind.

As his life spirals out of control, Daniel discovers the “invasion” of his body has a purpose more insidious and far-reaching than he could ever imagine. One Earth isn’t ready for—and might not survive.

*Wicked Tongue blends horror, science fiction, and frightening elements of our current reality into a cautionary tale for modern times. It is a reminder that blissful ignorance rarely ends well. And life, as we know it, can change in an instant.
