Following a volcanic eruption on the South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha, a colony of vicious driver ants is transported to one of the most isolated locations in the world, tiny Ascension Island, home to a U.S. military listening post. As the ants devour everything in sight, a young South African cleaning lady, an American intelligence officer, and a young French-Muslim bank robber are thrown together to not only try and escape the hungry horde but also find a way off the island before it, too, is destroyed. Praise for FOUR NAILS IN THE "Remarkably character-driven...Wheaton rather convincingly showcases his talents as a writer of horror prose, taking his time to craft characters who are thoroughly fleshed out and engaging without holding off too long on the suspense...proves here to be a quite gifted storyteller undeniably worthy of an interested reader's time and attention." - Michael Compton, FANGORIA "These stories are all incredible. Easily worth your buck, especially SUNDAY BILLY SUNDAY, which is possibly the best slasher homage I've read." - Alex Riviello, CHUD "Genuinely twisted and engrossing...may just leave you shaken for days." - Jessa Sobczuk, RUE MORGUE [referring to SUNDAY BILLY SUNDAY] "The writing is fabulous...I, quite literally, could not put it down. I had to know what happened and what was going on." - Candace Beauchamp, CANDY'S RAVES [referring to LAST TUESDAY] "This is muscular, original fiction that marks the debut of an exciting new voice in the speculative/dark fantasy genre." - Michael Rowe, editor of the QUEER FEAR anthology series and co-author of TRIPTYCH OF TERROR "His tales are visceral, intellectual, and often grisly, but Wheaton never forgets that touch of humanity and wry humor which allow true horror to cut that much deeper to the bone." - Ken Plume, author, THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN MY TREEHOUSE "Wheaton's writing is haunting. Days, weeks, even months later, you will find your mind returning to his worlds. Stephen King is no longer my only addiction." - Todd Farmer, screenwriter, DRIVE ANGRY
