Giant Bugs

They're bigger. They're hungrier. And they're coming for us. From the swamps of Louisiana to the deserts of North Africa, from isolated wildernesses to small-town America, humanity is about to discover that insects are far more terrifying when they're no longer small enough to crush beneath a boot. A travelling circus unleashes a monstrous ant. Giant mosquitoes turn a Texas community into a feeding ground. Soldiers face an unstoppable swarm beneath an ancient temple. Hunters stumble into a nest of monstrous ticks. Deep beneath the earth, enormous spiders wait in the darkness, while elsewhere, ants, beetles and other grotesque creatures emerge to hunt, feed and kill. But not every horror is purely physical. For some, insects become manifestations of trauma, instruments of revenge, or harbingers of something far stranger than nature ever intended. Twelve tales of giant insects, savage infestations and creatures born from nature, science and something far stranger. Ants, beetles, mosquitoes, spiders, ticks and other nightmares await in the darkness-and once they begin to feed, there may be nowhere left to hide.
