 "Millions of us. Billions of them. Nature didn't create them-man did. The hideous, hand-sized spawn of an ecological nightmare, they came swarming out of the dry hills, seeking life. Seeking food. Seeking us." Picked this up randomly years ago and read it in about an afternoon. It's a straightforward, US-set rival of The Rats. I mainly remember that the first victim is a thorougly likable little kid who suffers in great agony while his body is incubating a host of massive spiders/tarantulas. Not up to the level of The Rats or Slugs, but quite entertaining if you like this sort of thing (which we all do here I suppose). Levy only wrote one other horror novel during the horror glut, The Beast Within, which was made into an infamous horror film--and then apparently wrote a third book, Something Most Evil, in 2020--it appears to be a century-spanning magnum opus of witchcraft in Colorado. |
