The Breeding Ground

Formats & Editions

Life was good for Matt and Chloe. They were in love and looking forward to their new baby.

But what Chloe gave birth to isn't a baby.

It isn't even human.

It's an entirely new species that uses humans only for food and as hosts for their young.

As Matt soon learns, he isn't alone in his terror. Women all over town have begun to give birth to these hideous creatures, spidery nightmares that live to kill and feed. As the infestation spreads and the countryside is reduced to a series of web-shrouded ghost towns, will the survivors find a way to fight back? Or is it only a matter of time before all of mankind is reduced to a Breeding Ground.
