Bedbugs (Can You See Them?) — L.A. Taylor

‘NIGHT, NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT AND DON'T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE' In 1977, an alien spaceship crashed down to earth, landing deep within the soil in a small County called ‘Lemonsville'. During the night people were slaughtered, but the next day the killers disappeared. Everything was quiet for the next 73 years, but in the year 2050 a small earthquake shook Lemonsville, leaving an opening for the new creatures of the night to attack the living. Now, a young boy has been brutally slaughtered by someone or something? His parents are accused of his murder. There are no clues to convince the police otherwise and the parents are too shocked to speak. The murder was committed by a black mass, a mass that consisted of many small insects, just like the household bedbug, but these bugs are not like the usual bloodsuckers we get on earth, these deadly creatures from another world are soldiers, like ants, and they've been ordered to find food by their queen who lies in wait inside the spaceship. She's no strength to escape, and, after being stuck underground for 73 years is finding it hard to move around. She needs food so she can transform back into her original body, the body of a warrior back on her planet. Daniel Boone, the local police chief, must find a way to solve the mystery of why the poor boy was torn apart in his bed and why people have gone missing from their homes. As each hour ticks by more victims are falling prey to the alien creatures, so will Daniel work out the link and save the people of Lemonsville or will he too fall down and be destroyed by the things that want to take over the WORLD...
