RATS IN THE WALLS
They're Not Just Vermin Anymore
By Prasanth N.M.
Beneath the city's concrete skin, something ancient stirs.
When pest control specialist Mason Grant answers a routine call about a rat infestation in a crumbling apartment complex, he expects nothing more than a few traps and some poison. What he finds instead are bite marks too precise, escape routes too calculated, and eyes in the dark that seem... intelligent.
Enter Elena Voss, a determined investigative journalist chasing whispers of disappearances, mutilated bodies, and a secret buried beneath the sewers. Together, they uncover a horrifying truth: a criminal syndicate has unleashed a genetically altered swarm, hyper-intelligent, flesh-hungry rats capable of coordinated, strategic attacks. And now, the swarm is following orders.
As the city falls under siege, Mason and Elena must fight through fear, betrayal, and the walls that won't stop moving to expose the experiment and survive it. But in a world where predators now walk on four legs and think like humans, no one is safe.
The walls are listening. The teeth are waiting. And they know your name.
A relentless, heart-pounding thriller where science meets nightmare, Rats in the Walls delivers urban horror at its most disturbing.
