The Mosquito Problem & Other Stories
The epic story of a village turned concentration camp, turned city, turned nuclear power plant. A small town and its hopeful citizens are about to embark on a bright new journey. The townsfolk celebrate by engraving the nuclear power plant logo on buildings and soup bowls. Amidst the apparent atomic prosperity, lies a past that no one wants to remember. An island holding terrifying secrets. Stories of shocking and horrible crimes loom on the city just like the dark clouds of mosquitoes descending on its citizens.
