This was a short "biting" romp into terror!

A small backstory without giving away spoilers:

Four friends (Billy, Mark, Jess, and Casey) decide they want to take the boat out to a private island and pretend they are the characters in the movie "The Blue Lagoon" as they just want to have some fun. As soon as they get to the island they start getting ready to set up camp, but right away one of them gets bit by a creepy purple spider.



The friends decide to explore the island a little more, but things go from bad to worse as the friends are attacked by flies that are the same color as the spiders. The friends find out that the island is infested with some kind of mutant bugs and that these bugs love human flesh!



What starts out as a "romp" on the island turns into a fight for survival and when the bugs are hungry they are going to attack to feed!

Even though this book was a short story, author, John Everson, crammed the pages with detailed "bug" action that is fast paced and gore filled "bug fun"! There is a second book called "Violet Eyes" which I will be reading next as it seems there are more victims lying in the path of the purple bugs and I want to see who is next on the
"bug buffet"!

Giving this book four "bug bite" stars! ( )
