Larvae
When Prince escapes from the backyard during a 4th of July party, Wade and Maggie Mitchell figure the beloved family dog will be back after he has his fun romping about the woods. And after the party breaks up, Prince does return. Wheezing, whimpering. Twitching, convulsing. Foaming greenish goop from pulsating jowls. And there are...things...moving underneath the dog's skin.
Maggie hustles the kids upstairs while Wade frantically searches the Internet for clues as to what illness the dog has contracted. And then hell straight out of a creature-feature erupts in the Mitchells' once-idyllic household. Will Wade and Maggie be able to get the children out of the house safely...or will the worms devour them all?

If it’s worth taking the time to read it’s worth taking the time to review. "Larvae" (2012) is a Kindle-only, fast-paced short horror story about a family home being invaded by nasty alien organisms that consume fleshy matter, including people and pets. It’s not overly graphic but it’s not for the squeamish either. Without giving away too much, I felt let down by the ending. That written, I did follow the story with anticipation and apprehension. Not my usual fare but recommended for those who like horror stories.

Does this look infected to you?
A creepy creature story. Throws in some old classic puns and some really cool new ones. There's not much else to say about it, the title tells it all. Just know that it's good and enjoy.
