There’s something in the basement. Old Mr. Ross didn’t believe in LaundryLegs. He thought the monstrous centipede was made up by his wife—a joke to scare their kids. After his wife’s death, Mr. Ross finds himself face-to-face with the creature. Or does he? Stricken with grief over the loss of his wife, and fearful of his looming mental decline, Mr. Ross begins to doubt his own sanity. Is the monster in his basement real? Is it an alcohol-fueled nightmare? Or is he losing his mind? Pushcart Prize nominee Rob Smales delivers the story of one man’s battle against the ravages of time and entropy. It is a poignant examination of fear, loss, and family trauma wrapped up in a chilling mixture of creature feature and psychological horror.
