Gila!

synopsis

Just a moment before, Maria had been shuddering with pleasure in the arms of her teenage lover. Now she lay frozen as she saw the bedroom wall of the cottage bulging inward, then cracking wide open.
       “God Almighty!” the boy moaned, and tore himself from Maria’s arms. But he could not escape the nightmare creature coming into the room. He shrieked over and over as the giant jaws closed around his torso, snapping him in the middle as if his body was a twig.
       The creature raised its head. Blood and bits of warm, wet flesh slipped from the mouth, down onto the bed and the naked girl. An overwhelming rotting odor flooded the room, and Maria began to pray as the orange-and-black creature opened its mouth to let what remained of her lover’s body slip out…to make room for her…
