Tulpamancer: Mind Worms Kill

De: Jerry Smith

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Three months after his tulpa Alexa nearly destroyed his mind, writer John Walker discovers something impossible hiding in the ruins of his mental library—a three-year-old version of her, innocent and pure, with no memory of the monster she once was.

When parasitic entities called "mind worms" begin spreading through human consciousness like a virus—eating memories, creating false ones, and connecting infected minds into a terrifying hive—John must return to his shattered mental landscape. There, he finds his tulpas barely holding the defenses, and a child with ancient eyes who can see the infection spreading through reality itself.

As the mind worms jump from John to his therapist Dr. Christine Reeves, then exponentially outward through every human connection, the team discovers a horrifying truth: the worms aren't the real threat. They're refugees, fleeing from something far worse.
When Alexa died, she tore a hole between the layers of consciousness. Through that wound came the Void—not evil, but entropy itself. The silence between thoughts. The unmaking of everything that is.

In a world where thoughts become solid, and memories can kill, the boundaries between imagination and reality collapse. The team faces an impossible choice: fight the Void and risk destroying all consciousness, or teach it something that runs counter to its very nature—how to create rather than destroy.

The answer lies not in battle but in connection. Not in possession but in love that allows independence. And in a three-year-old girl who exists in all times simultaneously, carrying the only weapon that works against nothingness: pure love.

MIND WORMS KILL is the second book in the Tulpamancer series—a mind-bending psychological thriller where imaginary friends are real, memories are contagious, and a child who's older than stars holds the key to saving consciousness itself.
