Parasites

A thriller taking place on the Caribbean island of Trinidad, Parasites features an all-too-human hero and a sexy heroine battling a dangerously hostile new species: microscopic mammals that breed in untold numbers inside living human brains. Along with the horrors of parasitic infestation, there is murder, prostitution, illegal drugs, and unexplained violent deaths all crowding the streets of Port-of-Spain, the deserted leper colony of Chacachacare, the wild seas of the Bocas and The Dragon’s Mouth, and the snake and oilbird caves at Cumaca. With dialogue written in Trinidad’s unique lingo, and with extensive zoological knowledge backing up the astonishing details, you’ll be kept guessing about the finale at every turn of the tale. Part fact, sci-fi, detective yarn, and intensely erotic throughout, here is the dark underbelly of Trinidad that Carnival mad tourists never see. Come along for the ride, if you dare. You won’t be disappointed.
