+ Want to read

The slugs are back, determined to finish the slaughter they left unfinished. Anyone brushed by their slime trails is changed in an instant, transformed into a savage killer whose urge to kill feels as instinctive as drawing breath. Neighbours, friends and strangers alike become threats, and the horror spreads with each touch. Ordinary people who only wanted a normal life find themselves hunted by the very people they love, while the creatures keep spreading through the community.
