Disgraced tabloid reporter Eddy Brock's life is a wreck—fired, broke, and haunted by childhood trauma at the hands of serial killer Cletus Kasady. During Kasady's televised execution, an alien symbiote crash-lands and bonds with Eddy, transforming him into Venom, a shapeshifting, fanged antihero. Meanwhile, a second, more vicious symbiote merges with Kasady, creating Carnage, who escapes death row and plunges the city into blackout-fueled chaos. With psychiatrist Dr. Rachel Kafka caught between them, Eddy must master the monster within and face his childhood tormentor in a brutal symbiote showdown at the burned-out asylum where their nightmare began—forcing him to choose between the power of Venom and his own humanity.
