For fans of Stephen King, David Gerrold, and Richard Matheson, picture this: The world is being eaten by monsters and there's nothing you can do about it.

Four weeks ago...

Everything seemed fine.

Life was as we knew it.

Nothing was out of place.

Three weeks ago...

The first tiny creature, no bigger than a thumb, crawled out of the dark loamy earth of an Iowa corn field.

Two weeks ago...

Creatures came from the ground in every country, from the smallest maggot-sized killer, to Cadillac-sized devourers, each one eating everything in sight, their apparent desire, to cleanse the earth of any vestige of mankind.

Two days ago...

Our hero, Buckly Adamski, watched the Governor of North Carolina start to dance and go crazy on the television, it wasn't until the very end that the television announcer blew his brains out over the impossibility of it all.

Yesterday...

Planes crashed to the ground, the Eiffel Tower crumbled, trains stopped running, the power went out, and the entire human race (what was left of it) paused to take a breath, wondering if it would be their last.

Tonight...

Buckley gathered those he could save in the penthouse of an old building in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Monsters are eating the city around them. They know they must leave. They know they have to make a run for it. But they also don't want to die.

And there is an answer, but it will come from the craziest of places.

This audiobook also contains an essay called "The True Adventures of a Monster Screenplay in B-Movie Wonderland", which tells the tale of how the screenplay based on this novel was almost sold to Wesley Snipes, with many of the industry's top horror movie stars attached to the film.
