    About this ebook

    The trichinosis worm is one of nature’s most revolting parasites. Certain types of this tiny worm alter a host’s DNA by injecting a virus which mutates the reproductive system. This forces the host to bear the worm’s young. Typically these worms are never longer than a few millimeters. But guess what? Now there’s a subspecies that’s thirty feet long...

    When Nora and her team arrive at the island, she expects a routine zoological excursion...but it doesn’t take her long to realize they’re not alone. Are her lurid sexual dreams making her paranoid...or is she being watched? The dead bodies they find are bad enough, but then her own team members begin to disappear, and when they return, they’ve...changed. Indeed, there are other people on the island...along with something else far worse.

      “DALE SLIPPED AT the kid’s pond a few days ago and I couldn’t get him up.” There was an air of apology in my dad’s voice, but sitting there at dinner I felt a stab of nausea below my sternum. On this expansive, isolated Idaho plain, no sign exists at

    • 3/5
      I liked most of this book but felt that it took a turn toward the trite at the end.
    • 3/5
      Superficial stereotypes, monstrous worms, hidden military agendas. We've seen it a million times (well, maybe not in worm form, although Tremors is close enough). Slither breaks no new territory here, although it does get the Edward Lee treatment. That means almost all the horror is of a perverse nature, it's his forte and it works. Slither is mean and dirty, with almost no likeable characters, yet the combination of adult-themed horror and a genuine desire to see how people will die keeps you flipping the pages. Don't pick up Slither expecting to get cerebrally challenged, but expect an easy read which it entertaining enough, even though wildly improbable.
    • 4/5
      Very disturbing. I liked it. I've only read a couple of Lee's books, but they have all seemed very formulated and were predictable. Still a descent read.
