No one believes Lila’s warnings. Sixteen years old, pregnant, and bulimic, Lila is struggling to endure daily life but is driven by her bleak, prophetic dreams that an upcoming doomsday of insect plagues will soon overtake humanity. Her fears are written off as a severe insect phobia. Lila has no friends to talk to and her boyfriend is assumed dead after going missing under mysterious circumstances. Forced into therapy by her mother, Lila recounts her panic about the insects to her therapist, who begins experiencing strangely similar symptoms. As the threat of the insects looms, Lila confesses a troubling secret, fearful of her doom amid the impending apocalypse. This book includes the title novella plus two short stories by the author.
