One Size Eats All
They're bigger and smarter.
Deep in the sewers of New York City, the rat population is growing. Dr. Randolph Finch is determined to break the cycle. His new rodenticide, Degenesis, doesn’t kill rats. It sterilizes them from reproducing. But nothing adapts faster than a New York rat....
City exterminators and soon-to-be divorced Chris and Benita Jackson think they know how these rats think. They know how rats breed. And they fear that Degenesis has only made these rats stronger. More aggressive. More intelligent. And more ravenous than ever....
After a noticeable surge in rat den activity, the Jacksons witness something strange. Without warning, the rats disappear — only to reassemble in a massive lair beneath Grand Central Station. Millions upon millions of them. Working together. Operating as a hive mind. Feasting on the flesh of the homeless below — and planning their all-out attack on the unsuspecting humans above....
Florida. It's where you go to die.
Welcome to Polo Springs, a sleepy little town on Florida’s Gulf Coast. It’s a great place to live — if you don’t mind the hurricanes. Or the flooding. Or the unusual wildlife....
Maybe it’s the weather. But the whole town is overrun with the little green iguana bastards this year. They’re causing a lot of damage. They’re eating everything in sight. And they’re just the babies....
The mayor wants to address the iguana problem. But when Hurricane Ramona slams the coast, the town has a bigger problem on their hands. Bigger iguanas. Bigger than a double-wide. Unleashed by the storm, this razor-toothed horde of prehistoric predators rises up from the depths — and descends on the town like retirees at an early bird special. Except humans are on the menu. And it’s all you can eat....
What has long, pink fingers and smells like rotting flesh?
It is a slime-covered fungus known for its pinkish red tentacles and pungent odor. It is indigenous to Australia but has spread to North America. Its Latin name is Clathrus Archeri, also known as Octopus Stinkhorn. Most people call it The Devil’s Fingers....
Deep in the woods of Washington, botanist Autumn Winters stumbles onto a field of the luridly colored fungi. Two of her fellow campers make the mistake of touching it. Now it’s growing on them. Fleshy gelatinous pods. Sprouting from their skin. Feeding on their blood....
Autumn watches in horror as her friends are transformed into monstrosities — grotesque, human-fungal hybrids as contagious and deadly as any virus. Autumn knows she must destroy these mutations before they return to civilization. But if there’s one thing that spreads faster than fear, it’s The Devil’s Fingers....

Hunter Shea
67 books1,006 followersHunter Shea is the author of over 25 books, with a specialization in cryptozoological horror that includes The Jersey Devil, The Dover Demon, Loch Ness Revenge and many others. As part of the new horror line at Flame Tree Press, his novel Creature has gained critical acclaim. His novel, The Montauk Monster, was named one of the best reads of the summer by Publishers Weekly. A trip to the International Cryptozoology Museum will find several of his cryptid books among the fascinating displays.

When he’s not writing thrillers and horror, he also spins tall tales for middle grade readers on Amazon’s highly regarded Rapids reading app.

His nostalgic column about the magic of 80s horror, Video Visions, is featured monthly at Cemetery Dance Online. You can find his short stories in a number of anthologies, including Chopping Block Party, The Body Horror Book and Fearful Fathoms II.
A lifetime New Yorker, Hunter is supported by his loving wife and two beautiful daughters.

3 stories all fitting with the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
The Bad,
Rats are attacking the city, and the pest control team is here to save the day. However, first, they have to talk about their failed marriage and gloss over how the rats got so large and in charge as it's time for us to talk about rats and haze over the attacks.
The Ugly,
Giant lizards attack a town during a storm, and some little girl is the mayor, so everyone is unhappy, and they eat some people. I fully zoned out on this one.
The Good,
A plant or mushroom is discovered in the forest by a group of friends, who start getting eaten, taken over, and infected. This plague follows the group's downhill journey into chaos, madness, and pity.
