Time to break free from these nasty monster parasites, no matter how entertaining their escalating body horror and mutilation action is for the reader. Bloody technobabbleScience mixed with disgusting terror in a way I haven´t seen before, Sigler is giving a completely fresh and educating look on the tiny aspects of possible biological hazards, alien germ, and infectious tropes. Mostly, in resident evil walking dead style horror genre novels, the people dealing with these problems, especially the annoying hypochondriacs, aren´t the protagonists, but cannon fodder, while the real, clean, and healthy protagonists are cliffhanging around. How discriminating.Redshirts can live, and suffer immensely, tooBut not here, the forgotten, rarely thought, and well executed idea of making the researchers and the victims the main focus of the story, instead of the boring, stereotypical action heroes, opens 2 different, fascinating narrative perspectives.Why is this happening to me?The research part is also often highly underrepresented, because it includes hard-sci fi elements, thereby stigmatizing and branding itself as potentially boring, not suspenseful enough for most of the audience who wants her/his average protagonist personal and ideological development mixed with some action soup, except for the ones who are into it too. Thereby it would open up so many complex, fascinating plot options that go beyond the known informing the hero about the newest, creepy research, such as implying micro and meta developments, educating, integrating ideology, philosophy of science, etc.I don´t like how it manifestsThe disgusting perspective is, subjectively, even more fascinating, because people love terrible mutations in combination with mind control, losing personality, and generally having a bad week, as long as they don´t suffer themselves, and the introspections of people infected with maladies with potentially endless combinations of physical and psychological effects are interesting to see and, especially, guess, what that wacky virus might do next. This could be expanded to not just one or some infected humans, but to groups, states, and planets secretly or openly ruled by king parasite.Future will show how much will become realThere is more reality than one might want to think about in this one too, because we still know nothing about the impact of brain parasites, fungi, prions, viruses, etc. on any stage of human evolution from first microbiology to tiny mammals and rodents to simian evolution and early humans, just as with food, biochemistry, why drugs work, etc. Who infected us and ran haywire while we ate what are 2 of the biggest open questions in brainy brains history to think about before it rots, mutates, or gets assimilated.Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...
