slimeandslashers 's review for:
The Nest
by Eli Cantor, Gregory A. Douglas
The Nest has everything you could want in a vintage horror novel.
On the surface the story is about killer cockroaches, but it also features a nice examination of small-town life and relationships. The prose is surprisingly eloquent, which is strange for a story about mutant roaches. But that added very much to the whole experience. It was almost comical reading these poetic passages describing some seriously gruesome and horrific scenes.
Oh, and a few guys get their dicks chewed off (yes, a few, as in multiple). But the cockroaches don't stop there. They aren't picky eaters. No one...man, woman, or child...is safe from their ravenous appetite and their newly-acquired lust for blood!
If you can handle reading about bugs crawling over, burrowing into, and eating animals and human beings, then you should consider reading this book. If bugs freak you out, then perhaps you shouldn't pick it up. I can't even accurately convey how much I enjoyed this read.
4.5 stars rounded down. This was one of my favorite reads of the year! It only lost half a star because some sections really dragged due to scientific dialogue that didn't need to be included. Otherwise, this was beyond fantastic and immensely entertaining.
