Could you kill a rat knowing its blood helps to heal the sick?

The clock is ticking as the rats of Aaronsville grow wise and thirst for blood.

In this suspenseful horror story, set in the British Countryside, humans must make a difficult decision when a deadly virus wipes out most of the rats used to heal the sick.
After a few years, the rats that survived the virus are placed in a laboratory and bred, but when they escape, terror and chaos ensue.

About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR – LEE ANDREW TAYLOR

Lee Andrew Taylor was born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK, in 1969, moving to Bedworth, Warwickshire at the age of 9. All his life he's had a passion for creating things, whether it was new games to play with family and friends, drawing, or creating a story.
It was 1993 when Lee first dabbled in writing as an adult. He was at college when someone asked if he wanted to enter a writing contest with other students. He agreed, and that's when the first idea for his killer rats novel - The S.T.A.R.S Project - came about. He wrote around 30 pages and kept the story safe.
In 1999, Lee bought his first computer from a friend. He began writing a story that was growing inside his mind from when he first watched a zombie movie as a child. CLIFTON FALLS - was originally finished in 2001, but over the years, Lee had many problems with keeping the story saved. After many computer problems, floppy disc changes, and rewrites for an agent back in 2006, the final version of Clifton Falls was completed. Since then Lee has written - BEDBUGS (Can you see them?) - A story based on his childhood fear of the old saying - Night, night, sleep tight & don't let the bedbugs bite - Because he thought the bedbugs would bite him if he didn't sleep tight.
The revised version of his Bedbugs novel was rereleased in the summer of 2020 –
The revised version of Clifton Falls Part 1 was released in the summer of 2021 –
And the revised version of Clifton Falls Part 2 was released in the summer of 2022 –
Part 3 is scheduled to be released in 2023…

Editorial Reviews

I don't like rats. The nice pet ones I'm okay with but not wild ones. This book definitely set me on edge, who wouldn't be. These aren't normal rats, these one's are smart & have escaped from the lab they lived in. The description in this book is spot on & terrifying, when the rats attack, you feel like you're sitting there watching it happen. I really enjoyed this book & the storyline. I have never read anything like it & look forward to reading more from Lee Andrew Taylor.

Amazon USA - Naomi Downing

Very well written horror/sci-fi book that starts off like a shot from a gun & never lets up. Well defined characters that you care about & vivid sense of place. Be warned though, it is extremely bloody & violent. Great book & it needs a sequel.

What a great book!!!!
I hate rats!!
They scare me to death!
But I still read it and loved it!

Goodreads - Christine Broderick

Like many people, when I think of rats, I think of fleas, filth, and the plague.
Imagine if you will, a world where rats do not carry disease, but cure it. Where instead of killing rats as pests they must be preserved because their blood has the power to heal. When these rats go missing from the lab, it first seems that they may have been stolen. But as the body count goes higher, it's clear these rats have had enough of being experimented on.

Something wicked this way comes to Aaronsville.

They are tiny yet their size doesn't matter when it comes to ripping the citizens to shreds.

Who can survive the rats?!?!

A true treat for the terrors underneath the streets.

If you are a fan of killer creature books in the vein of The Rats by James Herbert then I'd recommend you check this out pronto!

It's bloody fun and more than just mindless entertainment.
