![]() ![]() Cal himself turns out to be immune, but he's a carrier-he gets the strength and senses without the nasty side effects. From this encounter Cal picks up an STD, but this is an unusual one: it turns its victims into "peeps"-parasite positives-raving cannibalistic monsters with unusual strength, night vision, heightened senses, and an affinity with rats. Two days after arriving in New York for college, Cal loses his virginity to a girl who picks him up. The apocalyptic threat to the world that begins in Peeps continues in The Last Days, which featured some of the same characters. It follows the protagonist, Cal Thompson, as he lives with this parasite and tries to uncover a possible threat to the whole population of the world. Peeps (also Parasite Positive) is a 2005 novel by Scott Westerfeld revolving around a parasite which causes people to become cannibalistic and repelled by that which they once loved. ![]()
