I've just picked up The Nest, in Homebase of all places....I could'nt find a thread on it here, so thought I'd make one. Anyway it's the 1982 Nel edition I've got, and by all accounts it's 'when creatures attack man' novel , and this time the creature in question are cockroachers.... and it's quite a weight tome( as this type of books go, at 400 plus pages). Anyway here are front 'n' back cover scans...... Has any one else read this one? no Spoilers( please!) :-) Attachments:

Hey Rog,
Have not yet read this, but it is sitting on the shelf. I can tell you that it was made into quite a good film several years later. Robert Lansings' finest role!

Had the feelers out for this a while ( no pun intended ) Perhaps a look on ebay is in order as O do like my bugs books. Hopefully it is more of an entertaining read than the similar themed The Ancient Enemy by Donald Thompson. Which somehow managed to make killer cockroaches dull.
As for the film, yes its a good un. Got a dvd in fact. Lot of sloppy special FX and gore to boot.

Erebus,
There is also a U.S. paperback that has much better cover art, in case you are interested. I remember many years ago when it was first announced for dvd. I was like..."The format is now legitimate".

droogie/Erebus I think I'm aware of the moive version...but have never seen, and I'll wait until I've read it first..I guess. Yes, the Nel covers a bit underwelming compaired with some of the more gory 80's covers...searching around it seems like the US version came out in 1980, and as you say Droogie it's alot better...here it is: Attachments:
