THE PLASM by WILLIAM MEIKLE A pulp sci-fi novella from Dark Regions Press in hardcover, paperback and ebook A derelict spacecraft and a storage cavern on Mars are linked by a forgotten secret. Ancient rituals are invoked, dark energy is awakened, and soon the Plasm is growing, and feeding. Desperate measures are required-but will they be enough? This one is a wee B-movie homage-a film that was never made if you like. It runs in my head like a Gerry Anderson production, and if you think of it like that, I'm sure you'll have a load of fun with it. Dark Regions Press | AMAZON | AMAZON UK
