Man, with his superior intelligence, believes that he controls nature, but sometimes, when man least expects it... the beast bites back.
In these horrific stories, you will find out how far a man will go to protect his home from man-eating hogs, and what happens when killer wasps and the military mix. You will learn the true nature of fear when you read what starving wolves will do to satisfy their desperate hunger, and what happens when a giant anaconda gets loose on the Beijing Subway. You will go back in time to witness the bloody battle to the death between a Neanderthal and a cave bear. And then, when you think it's all over and it's safe to breathe again, the jungle comes alive, it surrounds you, crushes you, drags you in and holds on to you, and then you hear a sound... breathing... getting closer...
Prepare to be terrified. Prepare for Man v Beast.
