Sometimes horror is the monstrous
radioactive animal, the human being assembled from parts, the mythical
creatures that rule the night. And
sometimes, real horror comes from the things you can’t see.
When the Wendt family finds a cheap
New York apartment with lots of room for them and their daughter, Emma, in a
nice building, they can’t believe their luck.
But not long after they move in, Susan finds herself waking up covered
with welts, a sure sign of bedbugs. The
exterminator they call, however, finds no trace of the insects. The landlady, who seems a little weird,
swears her building has never had any trouble with bugs and is clean as a
whistle. And why isn’t Susan’s husband Alex,
or Emma, being bitten? Why just her?It’s enough to drive someone crazy…
A contemporary horror story for those Halloweeners who like their scares in print.
