Overview

They bite. They slash. We scream... In this twisted collection of animal-attack fiction, no one is safe from razor-sharp teeth, mandibles, pincers, talons, and powerful jaws! Not World War II sailors escaping a torpedo-ravaged ship. Not a group of thrill-seekers ziplining along an idyllic mountainside. Not even extraterrestrial beings visiting from outer space. All of these folks (and more!) encounter relentless, hungry creatures in the fang-and-claw-filled tales of horror wrangler Evan Baughfman. ""Audition Tape: Survival Island"" unveils a multi-legged desert menace, and ""We See You"" showcases a new Halloween nightmare. ""This Little Piggy"" features a murderous guinea pig (yes, you read that right!), and ""The 79th Annual Cheerington Christmas Parade"" hosts a team of rabid, magical reindeer. Discover the many other bloodthirsty species stalking the pages of this book, and become wary of your next trip to the great outdoors or the zoo!
