Come on, admit it, we all love a gripping tale of our fellow creatures gone bad. Think Jaws, The Rats, The Crabs, Pede, Them! – the list is practically endless (hell, they even made a movie about killer bunny rabbits! Night of the Lepus, 1972, anyone?).

There’s just something so inherently terrifying about the animals we see every day and take for granted are going to stay in their dens, burrows, nests, swamps, and crevices going on a murderous rampage of mayhem and outright slaughter against us poor human beings. Knowing what they are truly capable of has us keeping one wary eye on the critters, that’s for sure.

And so, gathered in this skin-crawling, nerve-jangling anthology, you’ll discover a collection of the most horrifying examples of Mother Nature gone psycho we could unearth.

We have killer goldfish, a murderous mantis, a hellish giant arachnid, giant lizards, turtles, something altogether indescribable with tentacles, and so much more. Heck, there’s even a tale of butterflies we guarantee will chill you to your very soul!

Featuring zoological tales of terror from: Tim Newton Anderson, R. D. Tyler, Chad Barger, Seaton Kay-Smith, Milan Kovačević, Julien Jayus, Robb White, Serena Daniels, Rose Strickman, Janna Layton, J. Neira, and the amazing Cliff McNish.
