Synopses

Domain

After a long-feared nuclear conflict, a city is left shattered, with many of its people destroyed or mutilated. A small group of survivors shelters beneath the ruined streets, trying to stay ahead of the slow-falling poisonous ash. Underground, irradiated rats wait, sensing that humanity is weakened and exposed.

Lair

A mutant white rat has grown and bred, producing offspring like itself. These rats dominate the dark-furred ones, which search for food and carry it back to the lair. As the dark rats grow restless with an unsatisfied craving, the two-headed creature that rules them recalls the taste of human flesh.

The Rats

When the bones of the first victims are discovered, a city gripped by panic begins to recognise the threat posed by swarming black rats with razor-sharp teeth and a taste for human blood. For millions of years, people and rats have been natural enemies, but the balance of power has shifted suddenly and horrifyingly.
