If bugs creep you out, do I ever have the book for you! You’re going to LOVE it. You can trust me, haha 😈

Casey is an environmentally conscious park manager working with a scientist to safely reduce the mosquito population without harmful pesticides in-between caring for the swamp and cleaning up after thoughtless visitors.

Things go awry pretty quickly! And by awry, I mean the bugs are mutating and some are growing disturbingly large proboscis(ses?) and they are super aggressive and ravenous. Things get gross rather quickly and it’s a beautiful thing to witness.

Well, I thought so anyway!

Since this is a novella of 97 pages I’m not going to say too much so you can go in and discover all of the gory body horror goodness for yourself! 

I enjoyed this book so very much. The heroine is a strong protagonist with a good heart and a bit of a painful past and I really enjoyed reading it.
