As a child, my mother would say the old bedbugs saying after tucking me into bed at night.
But that saying always freaked me out because I would imagine the bedbugs biting me if I didn't sleep.
Many years later, I wrote a story based on my fear growing up...
'NIGHT, NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT & DON'T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE'
How can you kill something so small, so fast, that only appears in the darkness?
When unsolved murders from 1947 are linked with a murdering spree happening in 2020, the townsfolk of Lemonsville become worried.
It takes the police chief on a journey to find answers, but time is running out as more people are either killed or taken in the night.
Now, the townsfolk are blaming each other for the deaths.
But it's not until members of a vigilante group are found dead that the chief realises it's not a human he's looking for.
Now, he must unravel the truth before the dark shadow that lurks in the darkness kills again.
If you like creature feature-style stories, then this could be right up your street.
Written with that 50's B-movie style vibe, this story will take you into the town of Lemonsville, where your imagination will have you living amongst characters that may remind you of people you know.
Packed with horrific moments and suspense that will have you shouting - GET OUT - the bedbugs will leave you wanting to change your bedsheets.
Just don't say the words, or these little critters will EAT YOU!!
