Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  Charrlygirl | Mar 22, 2020 |   Her latest effort is a novella called, The Hatch. It's a stand-alone sequel to Waiting Out Winter, a wonderfully creepy story of killer flies. In the sequel, a family of survivors is doing their best to find a safe place away from a new infestation of spiders. They are literally everywhere, but it's unknown whether they are as deadly as the flies, and no one wants to volunteer to find out. If I have any complaint about this piece, it's the length. I would have loved this to have gone on for more than its 136 pages. However, Kelli did manage to put a lot into the story. A handful of wonderfully diverse characters, some that light up a room and one in particular who could single-handedly bring about a total eclipse on a bright, sunny day. Just having the story feature spiders was enough to ratchet up the creepiness factor above 100%. I despise these eight-legged pests. Both Waiting Out Winter and The Hatch are available, in paperback and e-book formats, at Amazon.com. Although The Hatch can be read without reading Waiting Out Winter, I really think you'll like them better together. Recommended.

Nick Kontis and his remaining family members have survived winter-have outlived the threat of deadly infected flies-and are heading toward presumed safety. They quickly find all exit points blocked, the perimeter burned, and learn the flies were only the beginning, as Mother Nature has stepped in to correct mankind's mistakes. Her weapon of choice: spiders.With thick webs covering the spring landscape, and lack of any communication leaving them on their own to guess whether or not the spiders are as lethal as the flies they're eating, they make a new plan. Fleeing in a new direction they run into another party of survivors. And what was once a breakdown of society becomes an exercise in rebuilding.They'll need to find common ground and bond with the others, before winter arrives again. Before the spiders declare victory... No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

We're following Nick and his band of survivors as the government experiment gone wrong in WINTER, has now morphed into a different problem altogether. As with the best post apocalyptic stories, this tale is more about the survivors than it is about the creatures. And even though there is a metric shit-ton of spiders around, in all of their different shapes, sizes and venomous abilities, we don't see a lot of gory spider action. In fact, we really don't see any-only the after effects.
This is another quiet tale from Kelli Owen that I very much enjoyed and can heartily recommend with two caveats: 1. If you're expecting a lot of creature feature romp & chomp action, you'd probably be happier with something by [a:Hunter Shea|5224760|Hunter Shea|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1478623642p2/5224760.jpg], and 2. you probably should read WAITING OUT WINTER first.
Heartily recommended!
