Rats: Night of Terror

by Brad Carter, Rossella Drudi (Writer), Claudio Fragasso (Writer)

Nobody knows exactly how many generations have passed since the catastrophic Event, leaving most of North America a wasteland roamed by the deformed, the doomed and the damned. But far beneath the poisoned terrain, an inhuman species of subterranean colonists has a plan to repopulate the planet. Their oily black fur glistens in the darkness. Their telepathic communication argues the details. Their long thick tails and razor-sharp incisors twitch with anticipation. And for a roughneck salvage team who has accepted a warlord's lucrative offer to raid an abandoned city, what appeared to be an easy score is now a gore-spattered battle for survival that may breed the ultimate horror.

From Brad Carter - whose killer shark, horny Bigfoot, butchered hooker and zombie apocalypse novelizations include CRUEL JAWS, NIGHT OF THE DEMON, MARDI GRAS MASSACRE and HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD -comes this viscera-sprayed saga inspired by an original screenplay by Claudio Fragasso, Rossella Drudi and Bruno Mattei that became the basis for Mattei's notorious trash classic NIGHT OF TERROR.

Sexy, violent, gory and surprisingly thought-provoking! Brad Carter has written a sci-fi/horror epic and I loved every page! Fantastic stuff!

Got to salute the extent of the worldbuilding, which meant that the actual movie-adjacent elements began approximately halfway through the book.
