About the book
About In the Time of Worms
A gripping, time-travel thriller based on actual New England lore and legend. An homage to 19th century tale-tellers like Stevenson, Melville, and Twain, In the Time of Worms takes you back in more ways than one. The ideal book for all adventure-loving adults and a must for young adult and reluctant-reader book lists. Set in the antique, seacoast town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, In the Time of Worms is the first person account of Max Blessing, a psychologist from the 20th century who finds himself fighting for his sanity and his life in the 18th Century. Pursuing a mysterious stranger who emerges one night from a hidden door in his home, Blessing and two companions become lost in what they suspect are old smugglers’ tunnels. To their amazement and horror, they emerge to find that they have fallen into the clutches of a desperate band of brigands in the year 1704.
