Synopsis

“A thrilling, I-can’t-stop-reading page-turner. If Infested doesn’t make your skin crawl, check your pulse.” —Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts

There’s something in the dark…watching…waiting…in this pulse-pounding young adult horror novel set in a luxury condo building haunted by a ghost with a power unlike you’ve ever seen.

Manny Rivera has just moved from Texas to the Bronx in New York. The summer before senior year should be all about hanging with his friends and making some spending money, but instead, Manny is forced to do menial tasks in his new home, a luxury condo his stepdad is managing.

Thankfully, he meets Sasha, a girl his age. Sure, she’s protesting the building, but she still turns out to be really cool. And he strikes up an unlikely friendship with Mr. Mueller, the building’s exterminator. Maybe life in the Bronx won’t be so bad.

Then the nightmares begin. And Manny swears there are cockroaches crawling everywhere…even under his skin. When building contractors start to go missing, Manny and Sasha come to the terrifying realization that Mr. Mueller is not who he says he is. Or rather, he is, but he died decades ago in a fire exactly where Manny’s new building is located. A fire that Mueller set.

Now, in a race against time, Manny must rescue his family from a deranged ghost determined to set the Bronx ablaze once again.

I don’t think I would have picked up this book where it not for a recent a Battle we fought with an infestation of bed bugs. In fact, when I was a child, I thought bedbugs were a joke, something my grandma made up in her funny sayings during saying good night. Boy, was I wrong about that! This book......more

Not so much icky as engrossing. Bed bugs in this quirky compilation make a fertile ground for fascination. It's surprisingly satisfying.......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 29, 2016

A fascinating read. I didn't expect to find this as interesting as I did, and I was kind of shocked that I didn't get itchy while reading it or have nightmares about bed bugs. It actually made me feel better about dealing with them should I ever encounter them.......more

Goodreads review by Jim on June 21, 2024

I recently read a book inspired by the author's personal experience ("Lab 257") that never worked well because the author was not skilled in translating his own experience into a good story. Likewise "Infested" was inspired by Borel's unpleasant experience with bedbug infestation, but she was already......more
