They love people! When polychaetologist Nora Craig sets foot on the desert island with her team, she expects the routine of zoological examinations of tropical bristle worms. At least that's what she thinks - until she comes across the first corpse ... The red bristle worm is one of the most repulsive parasites that nature has produced. It's better not to talk about what this tiny worm can do to a host body ... In Germany, the pathogen is notifiable under §7 of the Infection Protection Act. Richard Laymon: "Edward Lee - that's literary bodily harm!" Horror Reader: "A perverse genius." Fangoria: "Edward Lee respects no boundaries." The famous cult author of the calibre of Charles Bukowski or Chuck Palahniuk - only much worse! If you like sex and splatter, you'll love this novel - otherwise: hands off!
