The Cobra Event
This is a very intense book! A crazy man creates a horrible virus in his apartment, using caterpillars and a mix of viruses. He then releases it onto unsuspecting people.
This book reads like a non-fiction book, even though its a fictional tale. The author writes about these occurrences as if they've already happened, which makes it a lot scarier.
