So the only way to keep from being eaten is to avoid making any sounds. Having evolved underground, the creatures are blind, and use sound to navigate and target their prey the way bats do. Within weeks of their discovery, entire countries have been ravaged, and the world faces an extinction level event.
They’re each about the size of a cat, but attack in swarms that quickly reduce animals and humans to bones. They have a voracious appetite, and razor sharp piranha-like, teeth. The creatures breed and multiply their numbers exponentially fast, and mature to adulthood within days. The news and internet is awash with stories of a strange new species of carnivorous flying creatures that was released from a massive underground cavern system during a documentary expedition. The book alternates between third-person POV, and first-person, with the first-person parts being told through the POV of Ally, a deaf teenager living in the UK. I rated the movie a 3, but the book is an easy 5. I’m so glad I did, because the book is one of the best apocalyptic stories I’ve ever read. I had heard that Netflix was coming out with a film adaptation of the book, so I got a jump on it by reading the book first. There are other projects in development, too. I've won quite a few awards for my original fiction, and I've also written tie-in projects for Star Wars, Alien, Hellboy, The Cabin in the Woods, and 30 Days of Night.Ī movie's just been made of my short story Pay the Ghost, starring Nicolas Cage and Sarah Wayne Callies. I write horror, fantasy, and now thrillers, and I've been writing as a living for over 8 years.
I've had loads of books published in the UK, USA, and around the world, including novels, novellas, and collections. I do a lot of running and cycling, and live in the best part of the world for that. And our dog, Blu, who is the size of a donkey. My wife Tracey and I then did a Good Thing and moved back to the country, and we now live in the little village of Goytre in Monmouthshire with our kids Ellie and Daniel. I was born in London in 1969, lived in Devon until I was eight, and the next twenty years were spent in Newport. I love writing, reading, triathlon, real ale, chocolate, good movies, occasional bad movies, and cake.
