About this series
A playground for the rich. A genetic mutation a thousand years old. A relentless hunger for human flesh. What could go wrong?
Harry Harcourt has a problem. People are dying at exclusive golf resort Mar-A-Verde. As head greenskeeper, it's up to him to "fix" the problem and keep the course open... or face termination. But it's not one problem, it's a vast network of vicious problems, all under the turf.
As bodies pile up, resident doctor Daniela Trejo joins Harry in the fight. Together, they capture a creature unlike anything on Earth – acid skin and razor-sharp fangs with agility that matches its appetite. But the creature escapes.
Outmatched and outnumbered, Harry seeks outside help. No one wants to touch the job – no one except Detest-A-Pest. O'Connor, Sam, and Hope hit the road for what looks like an easy payday in a tropical paradise. What awaits them is a journey through hell that has gruesome death hiding in every shadow...

Praise for Molerat 2.0:
-
"I love, love, love this series. This book just reaffirmed how great Mr. Lee Gabel writes. The characters are so easy to love and they pop off the pages to become real in my mind. The creatures he writes about are created with scariness in mind and I love that. Combining scary situations with gory scenes is what keeps me reading into the night. Add in the humor from the gang and each book has gotten better and better. Please, please, keep them coming."

"Okay, the Detest-A-Pest series is now one of my favorite things. And, good news kids! A 4th book will eventually be coming! This is just so much fun. It's, of course, extremely chompy. It's also extremely funny. Our characters are witty and I want to go out for tacos with all of them - well, those that make it through the chomp-fest. Now, the author does have a lot of fun with current events. I can imagine there might be a few Q-readers who...um...may not like laughing at themselves quite so much? Most of America (and the world) should love the humor, though - and it's not at the expense of the plot! I'm really looking forward to book 4 and can't wait to see what monstrous critters the author will bring us next."
- "This book is literally a book that cannot be put down. These critters are really scary. Think of alien on a smaller scale. Great story. Characters are appealing and interact well with each other. Highly recommended."

- Vermin 2.0: Hunger Pains: Detest-A-Pest, #1
1
An infestation of supersized vermin with a hunger for raw meat? CHECK. An estranged son staying for the summer? CHECK. An intense fear of rats? DOUBLE-CHECK. Sam Shaw's life has flipped upside down. Pets and tenants in his Bronx brownstone begin to disappear. Left behind is a wake of carnage. All evidence points to a hybrid colony of vicious white-tailed rats that has moved into the basement – genetically superior with intelligence to match. When his ex-wife dumps his son Bradley on his doorstep, Sam must switch into protection mode, if his son will let him. Faced with impossible odds, Sam hires Bertha O'Connor from Detest-A-Pest Exterminators Inc. She runs the only outfit brave enough – or crazy enough – to take the job. With help from the Detest-A-Pest crew, Sam must face his fears or the white-tailed mutants will eat him alive. Because this horde of super-rats are smarter than anyone had bargained for... Rally behind Sam in "Vermin 2.0: Hunger Pains," book one of the popular Detest-A-Pest Creature Feature series. Detest-A-Pest #1 (approx. 304 pages.) Praise for Vermin 2.0: "There is nothing I didn't like about this book and it got me reading the rest of the series. It was an absolute blast!!!" "Vermin 2.0 is a gruesome horror. The characters are well developed. They are all colorful and entertaining in their own way. The author makes this into a great story as the characters are introduced to the reader and interact with each other and the rats. Don't get too attached to any of them. The focus of the book is very bad rats. This is also Sam Shaw's worst nightmare. This is his story. A real page turner." "If you're looking for something a little apocalyptic for your next read, but without fantasy monsters, check out Vermin 2.0. From the first chapter on, you'll quickly agree that rats deliver more horror than zombies and killer clowns ever could. Rats are the ancient enemies of mankind, no matter how cute the white ones look in pet stores. Lee Gabel has given us a new star in the rodent-related horror universe! Is there going to be a sequel?" "I love this freaking book. Lee Gabel has taken some of the most cherished horror films from my childhood and written a novel in the same vein. Hero, who's afraid of rats, check.....Rats that have some real teeth, um, bite, check. Do yourself a favor. If you liked any of those movies, or just plain like good old fashioned nature run amok stories BUY THIS BOOK. You will love it." "This book kept me on pins and needles. There were times my skin crawled and creeped me out but I could not put the book down. This book is one of the best books that I have read in a long time that actually kept my attention and freaked me out all at the same time. This is a 5 star book.." "Was expecting a rip off from James Herbert's the rats trilogy but got a unexpected delightful little book. Estranged father and son spend the summer holidays together and things don't go well at first. But thankfully an invasion of rats naturally brings them together along with a rat expert and 2 eccentric exterminators. Can they stop the rats? Read and see. Nice gore and rat attacks." "This book was an awesome read. I couldn't put it down, even when it creeped me out a few times. These rats are scary. I hope [Lee] writes another 'rat tale.' "
- Arachnid 2.0: Darkness Crawls: Detest-A-Pest, #2
2
Spiders. Over 35,000 species. Every person on Earth eaten in one year. Now there's one more... a ravenous eight-legged hybrid thousands of years in the making and bigger than a dozen burritos. After a summer of exterminator training in New York, Bradley returns home ready to face his senior year with renewed confidence. But fate gets in the way of his grand teenage plans – especially when eight legs attack instead of four. And these aren't your typical, everyday spiders. Their newly acquired taste for raw meat has them casting a wide net over Bradley's sleepy San Fernando suburb. It doesn't take them long to scramble up the food chain. Add a vengeful ex-girlfriend casting a web of lies into the mix, and things get downright sticky. But Detest-A-Pest can't resist a challenge. Sam and O'Connor rejoin Bradley and his inventive friends as they wage war on an infestation of spiders poised to swallow not only the high school, but the neighborhood and everyone within... Arachnid 2.0 is a fast-paced creature feature horror novel, book two of the popular Detest-A-Pest series. Detest-A-Pest #2 (506 pages) Praise for Arachnid 2.0 "I am no longer young and usually cannot identify with younger points of view in books. I instantly was catapulted into this world and I loved it. This book had the right amount of realism, gruesomeness and horror. it is a winner. I did not read the first book and I now regret that. I will buy the third though." "Another great one! First there were rats and now spiders. I am so glad the story continues! Not only are the spiders trying to kill everyone, but they have to watch out for one vengeful ex girlfriend. I love all the characters in this series and I love the way new characters have been introduced. If you love creature horror books, definitely read this. The spiders are not your ordinary spiders and they have one objective...kill. With lots of action and some humor thrown in, it will keep you reading on way past your bedtime. The good news...another book is coming in 2020." "Got the Ebook yesterday, read it in two days, loved it. The next Stephen King, Can't wait for the next one." "I like the subject matter of this series. The creep factor is great! I'm having a great time getting to know this cast of characters, O'Connor is my fav! Everyone should have a pal like her, she cracks me up :) I'm a fan of series books, so I'm looking forward to the next story. folks who are fans of movies like Willard, arachnophobia would dig this series. Although, Books are so much cooler than movies..... I live in the redwoods, and after reading this book, I am paying way more attention to what's in the shadows!" "This second book in the series takes another step forward from good to great. The characters and the story is something Stephen King would be proud of, don't miss this one!!!" "Fast-paced horror. Colorful and memorable characters and a great story. Warmly recommended. I loved it!"
