Rats

Killer black rats the size of dogs are roaming the streets and no one is aware of their existence.
Wild dogs, the authorities warn. Stay indoors and all will be fine.
Domenic Salvatore soon finds himself in the middle of a cover-up of epic proportions; where no one will believe the truth.
And why would they? After all, he's just a kid.
What no one knows is that the rats have taken on a taste for human meat, a particular kind of meat actually...young flesh...the flesh of children.
As the kids are hunted one by one, killed and dragged off into the night to be devoured, Domenic realizes that it's only a matter of time before he's next.
Something evil stalks the town of Wakefield, Mass...and it's hungry.
