Peter F Hamilton has a habit of throwing something horrendously horrible into relatively lighthearted books.Vault101 said:so what about you? preferibly somthing fictional..but yeah
I'm reading The Temporal Void at the moment, and one particular bit where someone's body gets eaten from the inside by a genetically engineered fungus-bioweapon-virus-thing gave me the creeps. The grim bit? It propagates around the nervous system, discharging electricity into it all the time, while keeping the victim concious. Euch
The Possessed in Night's Dawn were pretty unpleasant too, especially when they got hold of Edenist Habitats. Imagine an entire city transformed the crap that makes up The Thing, and then consuming everyone trapped inside.
EDIT:
I did wonder if that would appear. And that's reminded me of the Warhammer fanfic "Squad Broken" which is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever read. Was sent it by a friend. Not for the faint of heart.poiumty said:My Immortal, the greatest fanfic ever made.
Equal parts disturbing, funny and depressing.
