"A thrilling, I-can't-stop-reading page-turner. If Infested doesn't make your skin crawl, check your pulse." —Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts

There's something in the dark...watching...waiting...in this pulse-pounding young adult horror novel set in a luxury condo building haunted by a ghost with a power unlike you've ever seen.
Manny Rivera has just moved from Texas to the Bronx in New York. The summer before senior year should be all about hanging with his friends and making some spending money, but instead, Manny is forced to do menial tasks in his new home, a luxury condo his stepdad is managing.

Thankfully, he meets Sasha, a girl his age. Sure, she's protesting the building, but she still turns out to be really cool. And he strikes up an unlikely friendship with Mr. Mueller, the building's exterminator. Maybe life in the Bronx won't be so bad.

Then the nightmares begin. And Manny swears there are cockroaches crawling everywhere...even under his skin. When building contractors start to go missing, Manny and Sasha come to the terrifying realization that Mr. Mueller is not who he says he is. Or rather, he is, but he died decades ago in a fire exactly where Manny's new building is located. A fire that Mueller set.

Now, in a race against time, Manny must rescue his family from a deranged ghost determined to set the Bronx ablaze once again.

      Puerto Rican 17-year-old Manny Rivera is furious at his mother and stepfather: after revealing their sudden decision to move from Manny’s San Antonio hometown to the Bronx, they are only giving him a week’s notice to pack up his entire life. Moreover, they now expect him to help his stepdad finish setting up the luxury condo he’s managing there. On top of dealing with contractors who keep ghosting him and contending with a large cockroach infestation, Manny finds himself in a contentious relationship with Afro-Latina teen Sasha Betancourt, who protests the gentrification that the condos represent. Though his budding friendship with elderly German immigrant Mr. Mueller, the building’s kind exterminator, lifts his spirits, Manny is soon plagued by roach-related nightmares, uncharacteristic bursts of intense rage, and a sneaking suspicion that the condo might be the site of something more sinister than just waylaid new construction. Swiftly moving prose peppered with quippy, multilingual dialogue propels debut author Colón’s tightly paced paranormal thriller. Manny’s acerbic but good-humored first-person POV perceptively renders grounded scenes exploring familial tensions and racism alongside gruesome instances of body horror and abject life-threatening terror. Age 14–up. Agent: Jon Michael Darga, Aevitas Creative Management.
