With the Red Scare on the rise and a looming fear of nuclear war gripping the nation, seven labourers gather under the smouldering heat of an Indiana summer to begin a curious project: constructing a bomb shelter in the middle of nowhere. But when the emergence of a once-in-a-century cicada swarm ushers in a series of increasingly unlikely accidental deaths on the site, the survivors start eying each other with more than just suspicion. And with good reason. One of them has heard the cicadas' maddening song before. A nail-biting murder mystery unlike any other that will leave you guessing until the very last page. Brood X is a TKO Rogue illustrated novella written by bestselling author Joshua Dysart and features illustrations by internationally-renowned artist M.K. Perker.
