Description
A chilling and darkly satirical work of speculative fiction, this novel imagines a world in which humanity’s most despised household pest becomes an unsettling force to be reckoned with. As ordinary life is disrupted by an infestation that seems to grow more organized and purposeful, fear exposes the fragility of civilization and the arrogance of human beings who assume they control their environment. Blending horror, social commentary, and mordant humor, the story explores survival, adaptation, ecological anxiety, and the uneasy boundary between the civilized and the supposedly savage.
