Book Description
THEY DON’T JUST STING YOU. They lay their eggs in human flesh. They hatch and crawl beneath the skin. Then they grow wings and burst out of the body. A rare species of wasp from the Amazon jungle, they are unusually large, extremely aggressive—and coming to America on the next international flight . . . THEY BREED INSIDE OF YOU. On a Florida-bound plane from Honduras, a baby screams in pain. Minutes later, the wasps emerge from their human host.

Book Description
Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report" said, "Buzzkill is a Hollywood 'Who done it' with sharp satire and hard laughs from the man who taught me the fake news game - Rob Fox." Comedian Lewis Black of "The Daily Show" said, "Buzzkill is more than just a fast, funny and quirky mystery, it's a dead on satire of the entertainment industry. Rob Fox, through his cast of movers, shakers, perverts and cast-offs, gives us ironic insight into why the system produces so little that is entertaining." Synopsis: Hollywood producer Stu Mahr is in trouble. His last three films tanked at the box office and now the star of a popular children's show has turned up dead at Mahr's house amid a wild party filled with drugs and high priced call girls. And Stu is the prime suspect. If his career is to survive, he must clear himself before the studio cancels his latest movie. Zack Donnelly just lost out a part on a TV detective show as "the burnt -out cop with a drinking problem." It was a role he thought he was a shoe-in for considering he spent the last ten years of his life as a real-life "burnt-out cop with a drinking problem." So when he gets a call from Stu Mahr offering a movie role, Zack jumps at the chance. The only catch is he has to get the producer off the hook for murder first. The only problem is that Zack thinks Stu is guilty as hell. Zack enlists the help of his halfway housemate, Snip, a former biker with "confrontation issues," and together they follow the trail of a killer from the mansions of Belaire to the strip Clubs of North Hollywood. After run-ins with a violent Beverly Hills shampoo boy, a hitman out to make a nickname for himself and a community watch made up of transvestite prostitutes, Zack and Snip find themselves in a place where the big business of Hollywood collides with the bigger business of X-rated adult movies.
