A ravenous horde of flesh-eating maggots attacks the small town of Trinity Falls, just in time for the County Fair. Not for the squeamish.
This classic sci-fi horror is a fast-paced read, as reporter Haley Hill and camera man Jacques Marchand arrive to cover the fair, and find a cover-up by federal agents, after a meteor lands in Langston's meadow. Just as Haley thinks she's got the big story, the station manager sends Channel 8's most popular journo instead. It only increases Haley's determination.
Meanwhile, Deputy Dan Conway of Trinity Falls deals with a growing number of bloody skeletons, his investigation thwarted by federal agents who appear at the worst times. He shares his maggot discoveries with Amelia Forrest, the new science teacher. She finds unprecedented abnormalities and a similarity to screwworms, which eat living flesh.
At Beyond Limits Laboratories in the town of Rockwell, lab assistant Quinn McFee witnesses a murder and finds evidence of Project Larvae, a secret bio-weapon. She barely escapes the killer and makes it to Trinity Falls with her evidence. It turns out, however, Project Larvae is a lot bigger than it seems, and the feds swoop down to take Dan, Amelia, Haley and Quinn into custody, planning to kill them off. How will they escape?
After a murderous maggot attack at the local drinking hole, Jacques visits seniors Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Johnson, who got away from the voracious creatures. He enlists their help as witnesses. As the maggots eat their way through town and arrive at the fair, the ladies realize they must do more, and they're up for the challenge.
It's a mad rush to stop the carnage and find the truth about the mutant space maggots. Gory deaths, bloodthirsty monsters, dark humor and nonstop action make this tale a must for fans of classic sci-fi horror and creature feature literature. Enjoy.
