Fiction.
Horror.
HTML: Their bites are more than deadly... The small town near the Everglades was supposed to offer Rachel and her son a fresh start. Instead it offered the start of a nightmare, when an unknown breed of flies migrated through the area, leaving painful bites in their wake. The media warned people to stay inside until the swarm passed. But the flies didn't leave. And then the radios and TVs went silent. That's when the spiders came. Spiders that could spin a deadly web large enough to engulf an entire house overnight. Spiders that left stripped bones behind as they multiplied. Spiders that, like the flies, sought hungrily for tender flesh...through Violet Eyes. .No library descriptions found. |

A little backstory:
Rachel and her son, Eric are trying to start over in the small town of Passanatte which is located not far from the Everglades in Florida. Things get real strange with the bug population in Passanatte as spiders start weaving webs along with flies buzzing all over the town to the point where it seems there are more bugs than humans.
Rachel begins to wonder if the spiders and flies have anything to do with her neighbor, Billy who lives across the street as he just survived spider attacks on an island he had visited recently, but though she wonders about it, Rachel just shrugs it off as she just thinks it is a coincidence.
Rachel ends up meeting a forest ranger (Terry) who eventually becomes her boyfriend and when the town seems to become overrun with the spider invasion is when Terry, Rachel and her son, Eric learn they have to fight for what they want even against nature gone wild as when the spiders are hungry they are going to find whatever food source they can latch onto!
Where did the spiders and flies come from? Why have they taken over the town? Does the town survive the bug invasion? No spoilers here as you will just have to read the book!
This was a fast paced bug crawling action story that just kept me on my toes as there was so much creepy bug eating going on that this book literally kept me awake nights reading it! Loved the characters as well as I became attached to them and could feel what they were feeling as they were enduring the bug invasion!
The author, John Everson, not only brought the characters to life on the pages he also brought to life the bugs as the visual aspects of the story was like watching a movie unfold before my eyes! Giving this book five "creepy crawling" stars!
