BEDBUGS

As a child, my mother would say the old bedbugs saying after tucking me into bed at night. But that saying always freaked me out because I would imagine the bedbugs biting me if I didn't sleep. Many years later, I wrote a story based on my fear growing up...'NIGHT, NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT & DON'T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE' How can you kill something so small, so fast, that only appears in the darkness?When unsolved murders from 1947 are linked with a murdering spree happening in 2020, the townsfolk of Lemonsville become worried. It takes the police chief on a journey to find answers, but time is running out as more people are either killed or taken in the night. Now, the townsfolk are blaming each other for the deaths.But it's not until members of a vigilante group are found dead that the chief realises it's not a human he's looking for.Now, he must unravel the truth before the dark shadow that lurks in the darkness kills again.If you like creature feature-style stories, then this could be right up your street.Written with that 50's B-movie style vibe, this story will take you into the town of Lemonsville, where your imagination will have you living amongst characters that may remind you of people you know.Packed with horrific moments and suspense that will have you shouting - GET OUT - the bedbugs will leave you wanting to change your bedsheets.Just don't say the words, or these little critters will EAT YOU!!

Lee Andrew Taylor is a multi-genre screenwriter and horror fiction author.Born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK, in 1969, he moved to Bedworth, Warwickshire, at the age of 9.He has written 6 horror-themed fiction novels and 13 various genre movie screenplays, with 4 new stories being written.In 2019, Lee was hired to write a sci-fi, horror TV pilot for Dark Image Studios, a British Production Company, where he received a letter of recommendation for his creativity in producing a quality screenplay after only receiving a short description of what the producer required.In 2020, Lee was on the brink of having some of his screenplays produced into movies, but the COVID-19 lockdown stopped all progress. The same happened in 2023, after the WGA writers' strike stopped progress on some of his ideas. But since 2025, Lee's screenplays have been picked up by producers, with a London-based Media company teaming up with a Spanish producer to take on Lee's zombie western screenplay. In the past, Lee's had conversations with the likes of Elijah Wood's (Lord of the Rings) & Joe Dante's ( Director of Gremlins) production companies about some of his scripts and has even spoken to Anthony C Ferrante (Director of the Sharknado movies) on Skype about his Bedbugs idea.
