About this listen
Crease is known in Weaver as ‘the bug guy’, the man who takes care of insects and other critters. But what emerges from the shadows of the town’s waste plant is beyond anything found in nature.
Fist-sized cockroaches. Bird-sized wasps. Spiders, millipedes, ticks, all swollen to enormous bulk with vicious appetites to match. And other things, creatures that should never exist.
Through the night, they come, slithering, buzzing, scuttling, crawling over skin, burrowing into flesh, making the town their nest.
Time is soon running out for Crease and the other survivors, as that hideous skittering noise closes in from all around....

Loved It
Do you like bugs? This book is for you.
This is the first book I've read/listened to by this author, but it won't be my last. I loved every minute of this horrific adventure; like James Herbert's The Rats, but with hordes of mutated insects causing death and destruction rather than giant rats. Told well by the narrator, I couldn't get enough of the disgusting details told within.
Also, in contradiction to the clear moral of this story, kids: drugs are bad.

Like something from Tales From the Crypt
Not a good as The Bookshop from Hell, but still a very good listen. Very graphic with details of gore and terror. I wouldn’t want to come across any of those bugs.

Creepy idea, poor dialogue and narration
It started out ok, but the clumsy dialogue and horrible nasal narration made it unbearable. I'm calling time at chapter 7.

Disgustingly gorey and viscerally written
Fantastic body horror, with absolutely visceral language that made your skin crawl. Well written and made me cautious of every bug I came across whilst listening.

What a romp!
Absolutely loved this. A silly critter caper. Would make a great film. Narrator! Suites the writing style, and story perfectly!

Jeff Harding is by far the best American narrator
If this book was a movie it would be B movie. why Jeff Harding decided to narrate it is a mystery but his narration was the only reason I listened to the end.

Outstanding
Although it started off slow it certainly built up for the rest of the story. What an imagination. I saw in my mind these bugs and and cringed at every description. Reminiscent of James Herbert
