The Evil Bread

When DNA from humans in inserted into yeast cells, the results are devastating. An eco activist scientist who wants to eradicate humanity dupes an obnoxious and gullible British celebrity chef into launching a revolutionary, 'self baking loaf' onto the market. The result is that carnivorous, intelligent fungal life forms are unleashed, in a supermarket in Manchester. They soon find their way to London. Killer loaves with arms and legs, doubling every 24 hours, go on the rampage, slicing up humans without mercy and absorbing their blood. The state deploys all of its forces, including the army and MI5, to stop them. Will it be enough? The book is a critique of mass production and consumption and the dumbed down celebrity culture in which we live that gives unworthy people undue influence, with echoes of the golden age of British horror.
