Blight - Mark Sonders

The people of Stole Estates had everything to live for: new luxury housing amidst the beauty and peace of natural forests.
But did they know that the Estates offered death as well?
Millions of bloodthirsty moths, chemically mutated by the builder's landclearing, seek a deadly revenge from those who live in Stole Estates.
As the streets fill with mutilated corpses, those who remain fight a deadly battle against the endless dark cloud that seems only to grow. . . and to wait.

"It doesn't make sense to me. Moths attack sweaters and fly around light bulbs. They don't devour humans."

Normally I'd agree with you, Mr. John Stoles, but these are mutant moths, and they got that way thanks to a lethal cocktail of pesticides and defoliants unleashed by YOU, you greedy son of a gun!

The moths take violent exception the theft of their feeding ground. Their first victim, 'dozer-driver Bill Maher, meets with a particularly agonising demise combining suffocation with the death by a thousand cuts, the corpse so hideously mutilated that his hardened colleagues throw up as one on sight of it. Needless to say, Stoles has bribed them handsomely to keep their mouths shut.

And now, Stoles Estates welcomes its first residents. There's that nice Vyner family, Jack, Kathy and two year old Alan. Next door to them, pop sensation Carol Bunner, twelve albums, two big screen appearances and a Broadway run under her belt. Carol, an outrageous flirt, fancies the pants off Jack and is ever finding excuses to lure him into her house. We've yet to meet anyone else worth the knowing, but could be the author's modus operandi is to kill them off in order of appearance? Whatever, the Kamikaze moth attacks have been an absolute joy to date!
