Hi everyone,
I just wanted to tell you about a book that I read recently called infected by Scott Sigler. I am a hardened sci-fi and horror junky and this book was so outstanding because it was the first book in years thats made me want to claw my own skin off.
It really is that creepy. I can't say too much without giving the entire story away but heres what I can tell you. Perry Dawsey is a football player who would have made the major leagues if a crippling injury hadn't taken him out of the game in college. He used to have a violent temper but time and his best friend have tamed it somewhat. One morning Perry starts to feel sick, feverish. The next day he has scraped his skin near raw and doesn't know what's wrong with him. Things go horribly, skin crawlingly wrong for Perry over the next few days and that's all you're getting!
This is the hands down best book I have read in a long time. You lucky people can either a) rush out to the library / nearest book shop to get it or b) go to the lovely scott sigler's website where he has all of his books up for free as podcasts!

I read the book when it first came out, liked it through the first 2/3 and then, meh. Talented writer, but the book both left me flat and made me feel icky. In the end I relegated him to the "authors I won't be reading again." but, like I said, talented guy. More power to him.
