Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Barry had created a little piece of paradise in his southern Arizona backyard—until the javelinas came. His battle to rid his property of the wild pigs soon escalated into war. Too late, he realized these weren't ordinary animals. They were something new, something meaner and smarter. These pigs weren't just at war with him; they were at war with the human race.And the humans were losing.Duncan Mcgeary says he was inspired by a 'nature strikes back' theme. "We keep pushing nature and it's going to backfire on us someday. We are pushing into natural places, and the wildlife is either adapting or dying. My idea [with TUSKERS] is that someday they are going to mutate or adapt in a way that is dangerous to humans."Tuskers is the first volume in Duncan Mcgeary's Wild Pig Apocalypse series, published by Ragnarok Publications. Its sequel, Tuskers II: Day of the Long Pig was released in May of 2015.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Tropes: | |

Genre Shift | |
| Tuskers / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: It goes from an animals-attack horror novel to a more Planet of the Apes-esque science fiction story. The ending reveals the Tuskers and humans are about to be attacked by zombie humans and pigs. | |
