5
6	A 1974 horror novel written by Donald F. Glut (who also gave the world the {{Novelization}} of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''). It has a pretty straightforward "plot," if you can call it that; insects rise up against humanity and start eating people.

9	!!Tropes used in this novel:
10
11	* CoversAlwaysLie: The insects are of ordinary size (no BigCreepyCrawlies), and certainly there isn't a scene of a half-digested man erupting from the back of a giant beetle.
12	* CrustyCaretaker: The OldDarkHouse comes complete with its own sinister butler, who doubles as TheIgor.
13	* GaiasVengeance: One possible reason for why all the insects are suddenly attacking people.
14	* OldDarkHouse: The main characters are visiting one for some kind of get-together just before the attacks begin. It's incredibly crummy and run-down, and comes complete with its own [[CrustyCaretaker creepy butler]].
15	* ShoutOut: Some of the characters are named for Creator/CarlBarks characters.
16	* TheSwarm: Not just of one particular insect, but different kinds.
