AROUND A DARK CORNER
The third volume of stories by Jeani Rector follows fast on the heels of her previous collection OPEN GRAVE, which appeared in mid-2008.
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN
THE AGE OF INSECTS: NOT HUMAN tells of a species of human-insect hybrids called “brids,” led by a multi-armed freak named Darwin who wants to take over the Earth, and a band of human “Purity Troopers” looking to repel the brids.
