Marley's Ghosts

Episode #2: Catepillars

•

A relaxing vacation takes a terrifying turn when creepy crawlers wreck havoc on the guest of an Italian Villa.

Caterpillars was first published in 1912. It is part of the crypto-fiction genre. So if you love cryptids, bugs or just dream of a vacation in Italy you'll enjoy this story.

E.F. Benson was a prolific English author who brought his talents to a variety of genres including novels, ghost stories, plays and biographies.

I chose this story because it just creeped me out. I don't like bugs and then terrifying paranormal bugs is a big ol' nope. So of course I had to share my discomfort with all of you.
