Xbonechillers:Attack of Killer Ant (Haynes, Betsy//Bone Chillers) Book

Once again bestselling author Betsy Haynes (The Fabulous Five series) has unleashed her prolific pen, this time to delightfully horrifying good use. Bone Chillers is an entertaining collection of grotesqueries that are especially twisted for the minds of young readers. Grounded in the familiar terrain of school, shopping malls, or family affairs, each fantasia exposes a macabre world of demons and monsters lurking just below the mundane surface of everyday life. In Attack of the Killer Ants, a pair of bullies are gleefully torturing insects at the annual end-of-school picnic. But their mocking laughter turns to screams of fear when they're carried off by a colony of giant exoskeletal guests bent on revenge! Overflowing with buckets of gore and more than a little vomitus, Bone Chillers aren't for the squeamish. But there's a moral hidden in this madness and, in the end, the good guys usually come out on top--even if they are covered in some kind of slime. --George Laney Read More
