4 weeks agoRise of the planet of the zombie bugs: Books in brief
In horror fiction, a zombie is a human ghost or spirit "somewhere between living and dead, puppeted by external forces". This book explores real zombies in the natural world: organisms that lose control to exploitative parasites as seen in a tropical wasp that paralyses a cockroach, leading to its consumption by the wasp's young. This concept may extend to humans being susceptible to 'zombie bugs'.
