Arachmare: A Giant Spider Novel
From the award-winning filmmaker and best-selling author of Big Hollow and Malice on the Mississippi River comes an intricate tale of revenge and the bonds formed out of trauma.
A year after their daughter is brutally murdered by a local serial killer, Walter and Linda Kester are locked in a bitter divorce with no end in sight. As Walter’s giving up hope in life, he stumbles on an injured 8-foot-tall black widow spider behind his house and nurses her back to health.
Walter's connection with the spider grows as she gives him purpose again, and over time they become dependent on each other. After an accident with a neighbor leaves his pet spider with a taste for human blood, Walter must find a way to keep her fed while eluding two detectives hot on his trail.
In this gripping suspense-horror, the lines are blurred between morality and vengeance as Walter comes to terms with the trauma of losing his daughter and replaces that bond with his new carnivorous daughter, Amelia.
