Bedbugs invade Brooklyn…<br />

In this creepy crawly horror novel,<br />

Alex and Susan Wendt discover that their<br />

new Brooklyn brownstone is full of<br />

terrifying secrets-millions of terryfying,<br />

blood-sucking secrets!<br />

FOR RENT: Top two floors of<br />

beautifully renovated brownstone, 1300<br />

sq. ft., 2BR 2BA, eat-in kitchen, one block<br />

to parks and playgrounds. No broker’s<br />

fee. --- Susan and Alex Wendt have found<br />

their dream apartment.<br />

Sure, the landlady is a little eccentric. And<br />

the elderly handyman drops some cryptic<br />

remarks about the basement. But the rent<br />

is so low, it’s too good to pass up.<br />

Big mistake. Susan soon discovers that<br />

her new home is crawling with bedbugs . .<br />

. or is it? She awakens every morning with<br />

fresh bites, but neither Alex nor their<br />

daughter Emma has a single welt.<br />

An exterminator searches the property<br />

and turns up nothing. The landlady<br />

insists her building is clean. Susan fears<br />

she’s going mad—until a more sinister<br />

explanation presents itself: she may<br />

literally be confronting the bedbug<br />

problem from Hell.<br />
