β¦ Synopsis
Product Description
The trichinosis worm is one of natureβs most revolting parasites. Certain types of this tiny worm alter a hostβs DNA by injecting a virus which mutates the reproductive system. This forces the host to bear the wormβs young. Typically these worms are never longer than a few millimeters. But guess what? Now thereβs a subspecies thatβs thirty feet long...
When Nora and her team arrive at the island, she expects a routine zoological excursion...but it doesnβt take her long to realize theyβre not alone. Are her lurid sexual dreams making her paranoid...or is she being watched? The dead bodies they find are bad enough, but then her own team members begin to disappear, and when they return, theyβve...changed. Indeed, there are other people on the island...along with something else far worse.
From the Publisher
Horror master Edward Lee takes the good old Nature Runs Amok theme and turns it on its ear with a shocking new vision of horror, outrageous but all-too-real characters, and a roundhouse of plot twists, cliffhangers, and big surprises. This is Leeβs 17th mass-market novel, and like all of his stories, he takes every element to the max, to deliver a demented joyride of edgy eroticism, creepy suspense, and scream-in-your-face thrills and chills.
