From the bestselling author of 33 A.D. and Saying Goodbye to the Sun.
Eight scientists and one ex-marine accept an assignment to study the effects of deforestation in Aroostook County, Maine. It’s a routine job, and everything seems to be going according to plan. But when one of their number goes missing, leaving behind only a severed foot as evidence, former lieutenant Colby Phillips must lead an expedition to find him.
What they find instead is an entirely new species. A large breed of insect whose ravenous larvae display features and abilities never before seen in nature. The scientists’ amazement turns to fear when they find themselves at the bottom of the food chain. Can Colby lead the survivors to safety? Or is it already too late?
Of course, escape would be much easier if the dead would stay that way.
(NOTE This title was previously released as GRUBS)
***For a limited time, this version also includes the first chapter of David's 2010 Horror Bestseller, 33 A.D. ***
"It's campy. It's fun. And it did in fact give me nightmares." - Amanda Hocking, author of My Blood Approves, Switched, and Hollowland
"NASTY LITTLE F!#*ERS is a fast, gory ride from one of fiction's rising stars. Part zombie novel and part thriller, it is at times gross, funny, and scary all at once." - Jeremy Robinson, author of Instinct and Pulse

NASTY LITTLE F!#*ERS edition by David McAfee Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is not a serious quality story. It is an interesting plot, characters are fairly well crafted, however it is a B movie novel. Gory, suspenseful, but not something I will read again, and I would not pay much for it. The author needs to learn firearms basics. First one of the handguns is a .45. It is called a revolver at one point, however the character loads it with a clip (means a magazine). So, is it a revolver or a semi-auto? It reads like it is some kind of a magnum, but we are never told. The AR-15 is shot once, then the shooter has to chamber another round? A semi-auto is autoloading. There are more too numerous to detail here. If this bothers you, you won't like the story. If you want a fun read to pass the time, you might like this if the bloody gore and zombie like aspects don't bother you.
For those who have read some of my earlier reviews, you'll know that I have a thing for "When Nature Strikes Back" movies and books, so naturally, when I saw David McAfee's GRUBS, I just had to get it. I've never read anything by McAfee before, so I had no idea what I was getting into.
Eight scientists on a routine field research expedition in the wilds of Maine. Short of a sprained ankle or a broken nail, nothing could go wrong, and to make certain of that, Colby, a disgraced ex-Marine, has been hired by the firm to keep the researchers safe. It's an easy job, and it even comes with a few perks, as the lone female scientist has taken a shine to Colby, but then one of the researchers goes missing. When they find traces of blood in the man's tent, Colby immediately organizes a search party and they head out to find the missing man, who they eventually find. Well, part of him anyway. At first Colby thought it was just the boot, but then he finds the foot is still in it, and it is alive with flies busy laying eggs in the flesh.
Back at base camp, panic begins to set in as they speculate what could have happened to Jared. Regardless, Colby has decided that whatever is going on is beyond him and they need to get the hell out. The only problem is, there's no way to call for help. They can't get a signal on their cell phones, and a SAT phone wasn't in the budget. That means either walking out through the wilderness or heading out to the drop-off point with the hopes that they will be able to get a signal in the clearing. But not knowing what they are up against, Colby thinks it's better to take a small group. It will be easier to keep a couple of people safe in the wilderness than having to keep an eye on everybody.
One day out, they discover what poses the threat to them. Voracious leech-like grubs that have to ability to reanimate dead tissue. As if that wasn't bad enough, the queens, once attached, secrete a will-deadening toxin that allows them to control the living. It becomes a battle of man versus nature for survival, but can Colby protect the people in his charge against an enemy that is all but invisible until it's too late?
With GRUBS, it appears as if McAfee is trying to combine zombie fiction with "nature strikes back" fiction, and he does a remarkable job blending the two together. While the story, which was well written, moves along at a brisk pace, I did have a problem with the characters. Not all of them were fully fleshed out, and none of them were truly likable, and maybe that's because they are all painted as fallible. They have flaws. They are human. There are no white knights here, no one individual who is impervious to everything that is thrown at them. The hero of our story, Colby, is a disgraced Marine who blames himself for the death of his men while on a mission. When the first scientist turn up dead, his past comes back to haunt him and he fears that history is about to repeat itself. That in itself is fine; a character in need of redemption. But he is too often sidetracked with thoughts of the only female scientist in his charge. His feelings for her make him careless. And is she really worthy of his attentions. As much as Janice claims she is keeping her relationship with Colby a secret, she is flaunting it in the face of her ex-husband, who happens to be one of the other researchers on the team. Can we say "Bitch"? One of the scientists is a sex-crazed sociopath who has set his sights on Janice. The rest of the characters are relatively flat--cardboard characters thrown in as cannon fodder.
Was it enough to keep me from enjoying the book? No. It was one of the rare instances where what happens to the characters becomes secondary. My attention was focused more on the grubs Where did they come from? What was their purpose other than trying to perpetuate their dying species.
If you, like me, enjoy those cheesy low-budget horror movies that were shown periodically on weekday afternoons after school in the 70s, then this is definitely a book for you.
Grubs brings back so many fond memories. That sounds really bad, considering that there are some pretty disgusting scenes. Seriously, though, it has all the well-loved parts of a B-movie Creature Feature. You know - there's something in the woods, and it's eating people (display gruesome half-eaten body part), and of course there's a group of people handily nearby to BE eaten.
Specifically, there's a group of scientific researchers in the wilds of Maine. Everything's going well until one of the scientists turns up missing. At that point, the remaining scientists try to survive and you get to watch them get whittled down, one by one. Full of gruesome and disgusting scenes, Grubs is just great fun.
Don't buy this book expecting it to be an original, high-budget horror flick. It's not, and it wasn't intended to be. Think more of the movie "Eight Legged Freaks" and you'll be right on target. It's a well-crafted work that mimics lower-budgeted works in the campiness, the gore, the humor derived from those aspects, but it is, itself, finely written with great attention to detail.
Great entertainment, and just in time for Halloween - A+! Or should that be a B? -)
