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? :-)
