Hi Sharon! First, thanks for picking Swarm out of all the great options out there!

In answer to your question, it's hard to get scared at your own writing, but I did seriously creep myself out a few times when researching. If your group members want to feel that creep factor themselves, have them look up Ophiocordyceps unilateralis or Apocephalus borealis fly.

For your club: I don't consciously think about metaphors when writing ("What do you think the author meant here" is a question I heard all high school and college!) but we're influenced by the times we're in--and Swarm was written during Covid. At first, I was more interested in the effects of isolation than the disease...but then I thought: sure, butterflies with teeth are scary, but what's scarier than humans? INFECTED, VIOLENT HUMANS!

I'd love to hear what you all think of Swarm when you're done, if you want to shoot me a message!(less)

Jennifer liked an answer from Leigh Bardugo:
Leigh Bardugo
Yes!
Ok, so I originally wanted this to be a much longer series. Think 12 books of Alex Stern investigating supernatural crime and corruption. But these stories take a tremendous amount of time to research and write, so 12 became 5, and then 5 became See Leigh’s answer.

“The thing emerges from my bedroom. It has a spare leg, kind of exoskeletal, like the butterfly’s, but ringed in scales, like a bird’s.”
Jennifer D. Lyle, Swarm

“The snow will get you. Arlene Brimley will get you. The fairy lights will get you.”
Jennifer D. Lyle, Snow Drowned

“MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION. This is not a drill. Line up with your classes following tornado shelter-in-place procedures. I repeat, this is not a drill. Everyone, proceed to the gym as quickly as possible. Do not return to your lockers; do not leave the building.”
Jennifer D. Lyle, Swarm
