Publisher's Summary

"[A] harrowing adventure...." (Stephen King)

For Ben and Annie, the long weekend in the Catskills is an escape from the heat and noise of New York City. A time to connect with friends, heal their marriage, and breathe fresh mountain air. Then, a sudden storm unleashes a slithering nightmare.

Thousands of venomous serpents trap the vacationers, crawling through cracks in the old cottages, sinking fangs into anyone who moves, bringing convulsions and death.

Now, the survivors devise a desperate plan to escape. But something is watching them with cold, inhuman eyes. To live to see another day, they must confront a creature of primordial instinct....
