The Festering is a horror novel written by horror maestro Guy N. Smith (best known for writing the Crabs series). In the town of Garth in The Dung Ages, woodsman Tabor is stricken with a horrible disfiguring skin disease after going missing for several days. At the urging of The Witch Hunter, the people of Garth execute Tabor and bury him. Problem solved, right? Wrong.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Flash-forward to modern times (well, modern for when The Festering was written, anyway). Artist Mike Mannion and his wife Holly move to Garth so Mike can work in peace away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cottage is the definition of "fixer upper," lacking among other things running water. The Mannions hire local handyman Frank Bennion and his men to dig a well in they backyard. Unfortunately for everyone involved, it seems that the disease which afflicted Tabor the woodsman all those centuries ago is still very much alive...With its copious amounts of rape and Body Horror, it's wise to have Brain Bleach handy if and when one decides to read it. | |

Body Horror | |
| The Festering / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: The Festering is definitely one of the most grotesque and gruesome Body Horror novels ever written; the afflicted essentially transform into vaguely humanoid lumps of bubbling boils and cysts and, well, just look at the cover! | |

Angry Mob: Anger, distrust and leaping to conclusions is standard operating procedure for the people living in Garth. | |

The City vs. the Country | |
| The Festering / int_f22dda19 | comment |
The City vs. the Country: The Mannions moved to Garth from the big city hoping for a quieter life. It doesn't end well for them... or anyone else in Garth, really. The novel comes down squarely on the side of "the country sucks." | |
