Description

Wasp Box"Wasp Box is full of wonders, by which I mean it's full of drunken fathers and the Finger Lakes of New York and middling wineries and too smart and nosy for their own good kids and bomb shelters and young love and lost love and lost diaries and killer wasps. In this, his unbelievably smart, tense, breakneck first novel, Ockert has made something strange, and great, a book that is absolutely impossible to put down once you've started it." BROCK CLARKE,

"Wasp Box is full of wonders, by which I mean it's full of drunken fathers and the Finger Lakes of New York and middling wineries and too-smart-and-nosy-for-their-own-good kids and bomb shelters and young love and lost love and lost diaries and killer wasps. In this, his unbelievably smart, tense, breakneck first novel, Ockert has made something strange, and great, a book that is absolutely impossible to put down once you've started it."--BROCK CLARKE, author of Exley
"With sentences as darting and sharp as the wasps that haunt this remarkable debut novel, Jason Ockert has crafted an unforgettable vision of an America--and a family--in peril."--LAURA VAN DEN BERG, author of The Isle of Youth
"Wasp Box may cause swelling, itching, anaphylactic shock, renal failure, barbed terror, stinging empathy, and profound joy."--BENJAMIN PERCY, author of Red Moon

When a soldier returning home to a small New York town inadvertently transports an invasive species of deadly parasitic wasps, he sets off a frightening chain of events that throws an entire community into an unpredictable crisis. Escalating in its psychological, emotional, and narrative intensity, Ockert's gripping first novel examines the choices individuals make in the face of danger, the limits of personal strength, and the value of family loyalty when the familiar world unravels.

Praise for Ockert's previous work:
"Ockert's voice is quirky, funny, and totally original--it conveys, in these dreamlike, virtuosic stories, a strange and vulnerable kindness you haven't read before."--George Saunders, author of Tenth of December
"Beautiful stories, searching and generous. Ockert never ceases to astound."--Junot D az, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
"Ockert's plots are hair-raisingly original, his humor is feverish and dark, his language soars. And yet no matter what altitude of weird Ockert achieves here, his imaginary worlds are always populated by real people, characters who matter deeply to each other, and to their readers."--Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia

Perfectly Spooky & Shih Tzu Approved!
Color: Skull With Spiders
Mushu and Cri-Kee are absolutely obsessed with this Fringe Studio burrow toy. It is so hard to find plushies that are the perfect scale for a Shih Tzu, but these spiders are exactly the right size for them to carry around and "hunt." The spiders are super squeaky, which keeps both of them entertained for much longer than their other toys. It is adorable watching them dive into the burrow to find their prizes. This toy is high quality, holds up well to their play, and provides the perfect amount of mental stimulation. If you have small dogs who love a squeaky challenge, I highly recommend this one.

Great size for tiny dogs!
Color: Skull With Spiders, Color: Skull With Spiders
We got this for our grand-dog, a tiny Havanese! It's a great size for her. It was challenging to find things she could carry around with her tiny mouth when she was a puppy and we liked the added bonus of her pulling them out of the skull. Another activity in her day.... It was the perfect seasonal item to add to the toy box. It's her favorite thing to carry around. The squeakers are still going strong. It got a little crusty after she played with them for a while, but they washed great! Still holding up! Would recommend.

My little dog's favorite toy
Color: Skull With Spiders
These spiders are small and not for big dogs. But my little one loves them so much and it is hard to find good durable toys small enough for her. I love these spiders so much I wish I could buy just the spiders. the ones they sell alone are too big for her. If some one from the company could help a sister out on how to buy the spiders without the skull I would be for ever grateful.
