We're Infested: Tales Of Vermin, Insects And Filth
Your late mother had a hoarding problem and now the house is filled with mosquitos.
Your college roommates have a shaky truce with a resident spider.
You’re a lonely woman, thumbing through romance novels, when the crickets outside seem more and more… aggressive.
This itchy, creepy collection of short stories is centered around the theme of infestation. These writers – some new, some veterans – have come from all over with a shared fixation on the little things you can feel just under your clothes and, wait, sometimes under your skin as well. What will keep you turning the page, though, is not just the horrors of a million little jaws nipping at your ankles, but the bigger, more thoughtful themes incorporated by these authors. Grief, trauma, love. As impressive as ever, the template of little-things-bite-back has blossomed into a collection of human needs and experiences and the devastating horrors of real life.
The moral of these stories is bleak.
The bugs have always been there; they’ve just been letting us slide.
