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. |
