MSTB Ate My Friend: An Aldrich Horror Novella

Kienn Nguyen delivers a delightfully unsettling blend of dark academia and cosmic dread in MSTB Ate My Friend. Set against the sharp, academic backdrop of UCI, the novella follows a physics student infected by a predatory cosmic parasite whose hunger begins to spiral out of control. Rather than relying on traditional jump scares, Nguyen builds a sticky, visceral atmosphere where creeping body horror intersects with clever dark humor. The narrative maintains a tight focus on the psychological and physical toll of the infection, leaning into a sharp sapphic dynamic as the bonds of friendship are tested by otherworldly appetite. It suits readers who appreciate genre-bending horror that balances intellectual curiosity with grotesque, Cronenberg-esque body horror, offering a uniquely grounded yet cosmic nightmare.
