Nest (Paperbacks from Hell)
Nest (Paperbacks from Hell) | Gregory A Douglas, Eli Cantor
13 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
It was just an ordinary garbage dump on peaceful Cape Cod. No one ever imagined that conditions were perfect for breeding, that it was a warm womb, fetid, moist, and with food so plentiful that everything creeping, crawling, and slithering could gorge to satiation. Then a change in poison control was made, resulting in an unforeseen mutation. Now the giant mutant cockroaches are ready to leave their nest--in search of human flesh!Following in the footsteps of other "animal attack" classics like Jaws and The Rats, Gregory A. Douglas's shocker The Nest (1980) is an '80s paperback horror classic and was the basis for a 1988 cult film adaptation. This edition features a new introduction by Too Much Horror Fiction blogger Will Errickson.

I think I found it @BookwormOfTheDamned ♡eeeeeeeeeeeeee♡

Edit: for anyone interested if you go to Amazon and type in "paperbacks from hell valancourt) a list of them comes up

BookwormOfTheDamned Yes! This is what I had mentioned. I highly suggest to get all of them in print. The cover art on all of them is such a great throwback to used bookstore days. I think there's the total of 12 to 13 books? 3y
Gina @BookwormOfTheDamned 0o0hooh00oh I am all about vintage cover art so HELLA YEAH! Thanks again for being my horror god go-to♡ 3y

A man bangs a pile of dirt so hard that roaches come and eat him.

braddsibbersen Proud owner of an original copy of this. It's wonderfully tasteless and insane. Been made into a movie twice, IIRC 2y

This book is completely bonkers, but it -does- contain a lot of discussions of evolution, so I think it counts for Evolution day of #startreksummermay ! Roaches instead on nanobots (if I'm remembering Evolution correctly...)!

Megabooks Yes! There were little nannites that Wesley let loose. 🖖🏻👍🏻 5y

I cannot BELIEVE that 20 pages or so from the books climax this character is explaining phylogeny and the rise of complex development to these sailors.

Only 5 pages later and that all went about as horribly as it could. Sorry, kids. #REALLYnokidsonYarkie

I can't believe that even if there weren't killer cockroaches in this book there was still a chance that every child on this island could have died in a shipwreck. #nokidsonYarkie

"The rats were cloaked in sequins of death; a nightmare scene out of an animal hell."

See what I mean? Hard As Hell. I already love it.

I think I'm going to put any quotes or direct musings from this book under spoiler tags because I'm approximately one page in and it is going hard as hell already and I realize most people probably don't come to Litsy for killer cockroach novel excerpts. Even/especially when they're hard as hell.

Next up: the first Paperbacks From Hell rerelease and honestly? I think the roach on the cover is pretty cute.
