“The giant bugs are back with a gruesome vengeance! Lovers of the kind of monstrous plague the Guy N. Smith tradition loosed upon the world should find much to relish in this book.”
– Ramsey Campbell, Horror Legend
Tomahawk Hollow has a huge problem. Slaughtered livestock. Disappearing townsfolk. And something in the woods hungry for blood. When a young reporter and her boss investigate, they discover a band of giant mutant ticks have made the rural Wisconsin tourist town their feeding ground.
Now, with the annual Harvest Moon Jubilee about to begin, Emmaline and Jackson must race to find the queen tick and her nest before a massive clutch of monster eggs hatch…and thousands more terrifying ticks are unleashed into the world!
Bursting with cinematic action, horror, fun, and suspense, TICK TOWN is an old-school, pulse-pounding pulp horror adventure. If you like classic creature feature horror fiction like JAWS and NIGHT OF THE CRABS or b-movie monster mayhem like THEM! and STARSHIP TROOPERS, you’ll love TICK TOWN!
A WISCONSIN HARVEST OF HORROR
From ghostly whispers in Door County to monstrous horrors lurking in the Northwoods, A WISCONSIN HARVEST OF HORROR features fifteen original horror stories from fifteen Wisconsin authors…all of which will grip your soul and linger like a fog over Lake Michigan.
In the original pulp horror story “Hell Bugs,” from Christopher Micklos, two fishermen discover that the bigotry and resentments they have harbored for decades have fed something terrible that grows in the depths of a Northern Wisconsin lake.
