Zimmer produced great work on an extreme topic of esoteria. This book was consumed in a single sitting - the details of parasitic behaviors and affects upon prey were fantastic (and a bit sepulchral per nature of the foci). If you enjoy your nonfiction being stranger than your fiction - this read is for you!
