Wicked Bugs
Author: Amy Stewart
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1616200634
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In this darkly comical look at the sinister side of our relationship with the natural world, Stewart has tracked down over one hundred of our worst entomological foes—creatures that infest, infect, and generally wreak havoc on human affairs. From the world’s most painful hornet, to the flies that transmit deadly diseases, to millipedes that stop traffic, to the “bookworms” that devour libraries, to the Japanese beetles munching on your roses, Wicked Bugs delves into the extraordinary powers of six- and eight-legged creatures. With wit, style, and exacting research, Stewart has uncovered the most terrifying and titillating stories of bugs gone wild. It’s an A to Z of insect enemies, interspersed with sections that explore bugs with kinky sex lives (“She’s Just Not That Into You”), creatures lurking in the cupboard (“Fear No Weevil”), insects eating your tomatoes (“Gardener’s Dirty Dozen”), and phobias that feed our (sometimes) irrational responses to bugs (“Have No Fear”). Intricate and strangely beautiful etchings and drawings by Briony Morrow-Cribbs capture diabolical bugs of all shapes and sizes in this mixture of history, science, murder, and intrigue that begins—but doesn’t end—in your own backyard.

Looking for a sweet tale about a loving kitty? Forget it! Gabriela is far from fitting that type of description. In fact, Gabriela is one pussycat that isn't a ... , well, I can't say that here. Just stay out of the way of her glowing eyes and razor-sharp claws. Blacker than your closet that holds a nighttime surprise, Gabriela, fresh from another visit in Hell while awaiting rebirth into another horrid life among the living, feeds our fears with stories of her lives, as well as those she's heard during her visits to the underworld. Her previous owners have either been evil or have met with dire fates at the hands of those that are. Darker, yet, are the stories she's heard while awaiting her many reincarnations. The thirteen events she relates are not for the timid unless your forte is being eaten alive or having your head ripped off. No, this isn't a zombie book, so forget that. It's the day animals attack vs. the fortitude of black magic and telekinetic power vs. creatures of the darkness. From monsters of legend to demented human killers, her stories are those to tell prior to retiring for the evening ... if sadistic revenge is your goal.
