*To be stalked by the Firefly is to experience unimaginable lust. To die by the creatureβs touch is to endure the rapture of a lifetime.*Be warned. No previous work by Piers Anthony can prepare you to the experience of Firefly. In this amazing book, a master of fantastic comes back to reality, and conjurers a classic horror story: a tail of attraction of repulsion of the most primitive sort. He invents a creature of nightmare, a mysterious force that lures it's victims with the raw, irresistible power of sex itself.The ordeal begins on a remote estate in the sparsely settled hardwood hemlock of north central Florida, where a groundskeeper discovers the first corpse, the dessicated body of a hunter, diminished to a pile of cloths, skin, and bones.There is a predator on the loose-the Firefly, as it comes to be called-which lures and then entraps its victims emitting intense pheromones, chemicals that cue human sexual reactions more powerful then any occurring in nature.For those living in the Firefly's hunting grounds, this incredible threat becomes a catalyst for overwhelming emotions, unexpected unions, the unraveling of long-suppressed lies and morbid desires.To read Firefly is to surrender to danger, to join these characters in reliving the passions and secrets of there past and yours, to embark on a journey of storytelling you will not soon forget-and at the climax of this tale, to witness a vision as dark and compelling as any you have ever encountered.
