## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Northern California summer, a chill like damp aspirin in the air. A coil of nylon rope tightens around a sleeping bag, then the screams start—wet, small things chewing through nylon. Tony Randel’s 1993 exercise in dread lets the bugs do the talking.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, dread
