When the Clouds Roll In

by M. Chris Benner

A small town in Texas is overrun by a deadly swarm of spiders. There’s nowhere to run as they fall from the sky, taking over the area and wreaking fear-fueled havoc on the once peaceful town. A Mexican firefighter and a racist old man must set their differences apart as they go head to head with the terrifying creatures. Will they be able to meet eye to eye and come together to save the town from certain extinction at the grips of the deathly spiders? Can they stop the ever-growing spread of the creatures as they multiply in horrific fashion? Brimming with political undertones, a set of unlikely character’s stories begin to intertwine. From a pre-teen who immigrated from Mexico so they could get away from the spiders. To two brothers who accidentally immigrated into the town. The story is a horrifying thrill ride from beginning to the gasp-inducing end, as it will test the teamwork of four very different characters while they go to extremes in order to eradicate this chilling crisis. Expect destruction, horror and some of the most terrifying scenarios you can imagine as the lethal creatures fight back against humanity.

About the author

Matthew Christopher Benner is an author from the east coast somewhere. I'm thinking Maine but that's probably because I'm confusing him with a good writer. Pretty sure he lives near West Chester but google maps showed a hell of a lot of West Chesters so that piece of information proved not-helpful at all. If I had to guess, I'd say... West Chester, Illinois... but I'm basing that on nothing. Not one single thing. In fact, pretty sure Illinois was one of the few states without a West Chester. Anyway, he has children, several of 'em. I think they're both girls that hopefully take after their mothers. And he's got trades, seems to gather them like shot glasses: massage therapist because he's creepy and he touches people; bartender because he's creepy, and without drinks no one would let him touch them; an avionics technician 'cause why the hell not, apparently; and he's a thief, 'cause I know one time he stole the woman of a guy who writes author's bios for a living. These are just things, just listing things about him, just a list--bunch of stuff, all equally important. Really, all you need to know about the kid is that he doesn't succeed. Ever. And I guess he's got a good sense of humor. And he's balding.
